Bug Bounty: 150 $ for solution PDFCreator on Windows Vista
Submitted by philip on Wed, 2007-09-12 14:16.
Hello,
as you all know, PDFCreator currently does not work properly under Windows Vista. The upcoming Version 0.9.5 will have basic Vista support, but the main problem has not been solved.
The problem is, that Vista has a strict security system, that does not allow the way PDFSpooler.exe tries to start PDFCreator under the context of a user.
Is there someone who has already done this under windows Vista?
We have the possibility to do this in C (not C# oder C++) oder in Visual Basic 6.
Any help, hints oder experience is appreciated here, as we have spent several days on this issue without a result.
We are offering a bounty of 150$ for the first one who can solve this.
regards,
Philip
I just loaded (and I am not all that happy about it, but I'm biting the bullet..) Vista 64bit. One of the first things I installed is PDFCreator. As you'd guess, it wouldn't work.
I was also having a rough time getting my bluetooth dongle working because it didn't have M$ signed drivers. I found a site that recommended pressing F8 when windows first starts up (yes - where you'd find the choice to get into safe mode) to select "Disable driver signing verification". My bluetooth worked, and whaddayaknow - so does PDFCreator!
