Hello Rb, I'm new to PDFCreator, i was asked to create a silent install myself and here's how i did it. I launched the setup as follows PDFCreator0_9_8_setup.exe /saveinf='C: pdf.inf' /saveinf='C: pdf.inf' this option saves the options you select during install into an INF file which you can use when installing the software. This then launched the installation and i chose the options i required, i selected the following Standard Installation Name of printer = PDFCreator Destination = C: Program Files PDFCreator Removed tick to install Yahoo Toolbar Under Custom installation i removed ' PDFCreator Browser Add On for Internet Explorer and Firefox' - i believe this is what was causing the installation error Access is Denied message for me. Next i removed ' Create a desktop icon' Click Next then click Install and Finish To test the installation uninstall PDFCreator and install using the following parameters PDFCreator0_9_8_setup.exe /SP /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOADINF='C: pdf.inf' The main thing to look at in the installation parameter is /LOADINF='C: pdf.inf' this is telling the installation to install with the settings we saved earlier. I hope this helps you out and my instructions are clear and concise enough! For installation parameter help goto this link Let me know. I found the same problem reported by fremoy, I get PDF Architect even though it was unselected when creating the answer file.

I was using the offline installer, PDFCreator-1_6_2_setup.exe as the basis for the install. After the first run on the test machine, I specifically uninstalled PDF Architect before rerunning the test. I still got Architect. I tried a full rebuild on the test machine to ensure that it had no folder or Registry entries and still got Architect. I also added a logging file to the install but there is no mention of Architect in the log file (unless I’m missing something). There is no mention in the log file of the creation of the Architect directory: 'C: Program Files (x86) PDF Architect PDF Architect.exe' I think my next step may be to generate an inf file that does include Architect and compare it against the one that supposedly does not (though I don’t think the inf file is the problem).
