I just posted a feature request to PDFCreator on Sourceforge, asking for the possibility to enable/disable automatic update check: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2764856&group_id=57796&atid=485460

I asked this because I prefer to take care to update this software via WPKG. [[User:Ilgino|Ilgino]] 11:42, 15 April 2009 (CEST)

After Updating from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1 I run into the follwing error:

"339 (Component MSCOMCT2.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid)"

I solved the problem by registering MSCOMCT2.OCX again.

:One of the developers answered my feature request and stated that we can add the UpdateInterval in the HKLM\ tree, and that this will override the value in any HKCU\ tree. So a single value in the HKLM\ tree forces the update interval "system wide". I'm about to post an updated 0.9.8 version package definition. [[User:Ilgino|Ilgino]] 10:51, 22 April 2009 (CEST)

For any reason, uninstall of pdfcreator leaves unins000.exe and new installation creates unins001.exe and unins001.dat. So you may check for dat-File rather than exe and delete whole pdfcreator directory before installing. You get strange screens from uninstall without acompaying dat-File.

Disable update in pdfcreator

Update by KTJ: Remember, than Windows 7 x64 have a different registy patch for local machine - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PDFCreator\Program]

Instead of this hack you can also set HKLM\SOFTWARE\PDFCreator\Program\DisableUpdateCheck = "1" [REG_SZ] and the update buttons in the program will be hidden/disabled. See http://www.pdfforge.org/content/hidden-settings

Also instead of messing around with regedit to import the settings you can also use the regfile parameter of the Pdfcreator setup: PDFCreator-1_7_2_setup.exe /REGFILE=%SOFTWARE%\pdf.reg
