PDFCreator as MSI setup

Submitted by philip on Wed, 12/21/2011 - 16:48

We know that having a MSI setup is vital for many people out there having to install PDFCreator on a large number of machines. For all of you there are good news, as we are doing quite some progress with the MSI development. After having some problems with our installer package (InstallAware), we now get quite used to it and found ways to bypass its limitations.

Of course it is hard to tell when exactly the MSI will be ready, but I am confident that this will happen soon. If thing go well, it could be that we have a first version ready for testing in January.

And of course after all, we want to thank anyone who has donated for the MSI support. This helped us buying the installer and we hope to serve you with a MSI package really soon.

Yes, we have, but the InstallAware Setup does not take them, as they wrap the MSI with their own Engine and then put it into an MSI again.

We will surely keep you up to date on this.

Have you tested with a [. mst]?

Send me e-mail too, please, when the msi-package will be ready. Thank you.

We have a version ready that does install PDFCreator properly, but we have run into an unexpected problem. The installer engine we are using (InstallAware) relies on the ability to have command line parameters. As we have seen, there is no command line parameter option in the Active Directory. So we are looking for alternatives there and hope that we will not have to rewrite the whole setup with another tool...
