run application as Admin

[rylo]

Hello,

I'm currently experimenting with WAPT. I can create packages except for one application;
I know how to install it silently, but only in admin command prompt mode. How can I specify this in the .py file?
If anyone can help, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Normally, all of this is handled automatically.

If the installation is launched from the console, it will be done using the system account.
Therefore, the installer will have full privileges.

If the installation is done via the command line (wapt-get install tis-monsoft), and the user is not an administrator, a username and password will be required to access the Wapt service, which uses the system account.

Thank you for this answer, if that's it I don't see here is the log

This is error 1619 (Windows error)

Does it work when you run your command as administrator?

Code: Select all

QlikViewDesktop_x64Setup.exe" /S /v/qn

Yes, running cmd as admin works perfectly, hence my question about admin rights.
Even when I use runas it works, I don't understand.

[sfonteneau]

It is possible that your application does not support installation under a system account

You can make a

Code: Select all

wapt-get install tis-monsoft

with an administrator account (right-click on cmd, run as administrator)

If the installation works via the command line, that would explain the problem

Yes, that works, well, I'll have to find an alternative

Is there a way to ensure that a domain admin launches the installation and not the system in WaptConsole?

[rylo]

Thanks for the link, but I had already looked at that information without success.
I solved my problem using Fog, which manages application deployment.

Thanks again for your help.
