Two blank lines between top-level statements in Python.

Could probably just return X rather than than having update as a temporary.

Is 1-1-0 always going to be around in Win10+ forevermore?

[brucedawson, 2016/01/14 21:14:17]

I don't know for sure. I think so.

An alternative would be to call GetInstallerName() and if it returns None then
early-out - that handles the Windows 10+ case.

Instead of raise'ing here, a well formatted message that someone might see in
the noisy spam of gclient runhooks where this will be encountered.

print '-'*80
print
print 'blah blah, you need to run the following command:'
print '  wusa /quiet d:\full\path\to\x.msu'
print
print '-'*80

(The raise e for other errors is fine though.)

[brucedawson, 2016/01/14 21:14:17]

Are you suggesting not doing a raise at all? My assumption is that it is
necessary to do a raise because otherwise the error won't be noticed at all. Or
maybe failing in some other way would work, but I don't know what way that would
be.

BTW, the user doesn't need the 'wusa /quiet' - that's only needed for unattended
installs of the update.

[scottmg, 2016/01/14 21:47:31]

I was suggesting print ...; system.exit(1) or something. People's eyes have a
tendency to glaze over when they see a python stack dump and just post to
chromium-dev. The current version looks fine though.
