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 found a similar software with same problem. bellows are two solutions. hope the info helps.

It seems there are two workarounds to get Primopdf 3.1 to work with Vista, Either
1. Turn off User Account Control and restart, or
2. Give full control to 'everyone' for the C:/Windows/Temp folder by right-clicking, choosing properties/security/edit, highlighting 'Everyone' and checking 'full control'. (If 'Everyone' is not visible, it can be added via Add/Advanced/Find Now).
Both worked for me, but the second allows you to keep user account control functioning.
