Hi everybody,

it seems that makemsi.exe is broken in Wpkg-GP-0.17.16_x64.exe

"C:\Program Files\Wpkg-GP\MakeMSI.exe"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "MakeMSI.py", line 2, in <module>
File "msilib\__init__.pyc", line 4, in <module>
File "_msi.pyc", line 12, in <module>
File "_msi.pyc", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.

Tried on 2 Computer (my workstations and a test-vm)

Regards

Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the info, i have to look into this. Nerver touched the
related source files as far as i know but maybe there is a problem
with my updated python base.

Sadly because of other personal issues i don't have much time at the
moment but i hope to be able to look at it later next week.

Best Regards,
Nils

a way to give me a short introduction on how to work with the repository so that I may have a look in to it myself?

Is just picking up an eclipse enough?

Mike

Hey,

I finally had a bit of time to check this out:

Test 1 on My development system (Win8.1 x64, up to date):

With 0.17.16 installed i ran:

makemsi.exe x64 %path_to_installer% %path_to_ini% %path_for_msi%

Without any errors.

Test2 on another system without the python environment (Win7, x64):

With 0.17.16 installed i ran:

makemsi.exe x64 %path_to_installer% %path_to_ini% %path_for_msi%

And error:

"C:\Program Files\Wpkg-GP\MakeMSI.exe"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "MakeMSI.py", line 2, in <module>
File "msilib\__init__.pyc", line 4, in <module>
File "_msi.pyc", line 12, in <module>
File "_msi.pyc", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.

Ok it seems that in my packaged installer there is a python
part/module/dll missing that is necessary for the makemsi tool and
because my dev system has all of these installed anyway it works anyway.

Sadly i have no idea how to fix this easily, i haven't touched the build
routine of wpkg-gp and the method for building the exe (py2exe) is not
the same i use for my client software (pyinstaller) which with which im
way more experienced.

But i may still have any easy solution:

I tried installing the latest official wpkg-gp build (0.18b1) and then
used its makemsi tool to create a msi package of the 0.17.16 installer
which worked fine, but i have not tested the created msi.

Maybe this is a workaround until im able to fix the problem in my version.

Best Regards,
Nils

Hi everybody,

Perhaps any update/hint on this?

Nils, would it be possible to increase the debug level? Perhaps we get the name of the dll then?

Kind regards

Mike

Hi,

I tried to build the latest release on windows 7 instead of windows 8.1
and it seems this fixed the problem with the makemsi.exe (atleast on the
2 win7 systems i tried).
This build seems to work fine on newer versions too but i hope to get a
bit more feedback on this. Especially because the filesize on with
win8.1 and win7 builds differ so much.

Check the releases page on github for the download:

https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp/releases

Best Regards,

Nils

Thumbs up Nils for keeping wpkg-gp & client alive!
They're being used here and highly appreciated.
