Update to version 0.9.6
== PDFCreator 0.9.5 6 ==
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ PDFCreator] 0.9.5 6 is not available as an MSI package.
Customization has to be prepared via a .inf file produced by the installation package with the /SAVEINF="filename.inf" option; this allows for example the installation without toolbar.
Version 0.9.5 6 does not upgrade from 0.9.3 5 (it complains about the package being already installed) so I use a different package id ("pdfcreator-095" for the old version, "pdfcreator-095096" for the new), so that the old version is removed before the new is installed.
Note that the uninstall string is "PDFCreator" for both versions, so I added a check on the executable version number just to make sure.
