PDFCreator 1.0.0
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ PDFCreator] 1.0.0 is not available as an MSI package. Customization has to be prepared via commandline arguments to the installer, or via the SAVEINF method; both of them allow for example the installation without toolbar and desktop icon.
Haven't checked if version 1.0.0 upgrades cleanly from previous versoins versions (maybe it could complain about the package being already installed) so I use a different package id ("pdfcreator-098" for the old version, "pdfcreator-100" 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.
* Known issues No hyperlinks possible (Hyperlinks for MS Word are possible with the combination of PDF-T-Maker and PDFCreator.)
