== automatic update check ==
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)
: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)
::See also Chapter "Settings in PDFCreator" in the Pdfcreator user manual at http://www.pdfforge.org/content/settings-pdfcreator
::Also instead of messing around with regedit to import the settings you can also use the regfile parameter of the Pdfcreator setup: PDFCreator-1_0_0_setup.exe /REGFILE=%SOFTWARE%\pdf.reg
::pdf.reg is a simple Windows registry export file.
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.

Hi
After adding HKLM\SOFTWARE\PDFCreator\Program\UpdateInterval=0 to my installer, my users aren't automatically asked about updates anymore
But they still have the option to use the menu Help/Check Updates
I solved that issue about version 1.3.2 with HKLM\SOFTWARE\PDFCreator\Program\ApplicationVersion=9.1.3.2
And now my users can't upgrade using the menu Help/Check Updates, because they is '''only''' told, that they have the latest version, and '''not''' that it is version "9.1.3.2"
And if they use the menu Help/About they is still told that they have version 1.3.2 installed.
So now my installer script both have the UpdateInterval and the ApplicationVersion regkeys.

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
