Cannot install PDFCreator 0.95 on Windows XP

2008-03-20 17:45:37 by David Zapf

I uninstalled a previous version of PDF Creator and tried to install 0.95 after rebooting, but I get a message that says "The program is installed already. For a new installation uninstall first. The setup will be cancelled." I have checked in the Control Panel for "Add/Remove Programs" and PDF Creator is not there. I deleted the PDF Creator folder in the "Programs" directory, but something somewhere is still hanging on to this program! Any ideas?

Figured this one out myself. I installed PDF Creator 0.95 on another computer, then copied the PDF Creator folder created in the Windows Program Files to the Windows Program Files on my computer. From that folder I ran the uninstall program (unins000.exe)and, voila, after a reboot I was able to successfully install on my computer!

Hello,

have a look here: http://www.pdfforge.org/node/874
This describes, how you can force the installation of PDFCreator, even though the setup thinks that it is already installed.
