WpkgServer crashes if SYSDIR\GroupPolicy does not exist #68

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install a new computer
2. Install Wpkg-GP with LGP enabled
3. Service will not start, because c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy does not 
exist

Just had the same issue on my not completely WU-updated Windows XP SP3 VM.
Looking at the Windows Event Log reveals that service WpkgService says:

Python could not construct the class instance 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "WpkgServer.pyc", line 80, in __init__
  File "WpkgLGPUpdater.pyc", line 123, in update
  File "WpkgLGPUpdater.pyc", line 79, in addToLocalPolicies
IOError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 
'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\GroupPolicy\\gpt.ini') 
%2: %3

This issue seems to be caused if LGP were never used or configured before on 
the system.

I just circumvented this by calling {{{C:\WINDOWS\system32\gpedit.msc}}} before 
the wpkg-gp installation. When calling this the directory structure seems to be 
created properly. Afterwards, wpkg-gp and the administrative template for LGP 
are installed correctly.
