Revision as of 14:29, 30 April 2010

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. Ilgino 11:42, 15 April 2009 (CEST)


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. 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.
