Hello,
I just installed PDF creator 1.6.1
system is w7 pro x64
after installation, go to “start” ==> "devices printers"
right click on any printer, select “printer properties”
==> error message saying the driver is not installed.
also print does not work anymore for the other postscript printers installed in the system.
searching for modified files, found the directory
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3
where the file PS5UI.DLL has been replaced by a very strange one.
a binary display of the end of the file PS5UI.DLL shows :
6.2.9200.16384 (win8_rtm.120725-1247)
to recover,
- uninstall PDFFORGE
- stop spool
- from your backup, restore the previous Postscript driver files (at least from your backup
- reboot
This raises some issues:
- the bug : a DLL containing windows 8 code, installed on windows 7
- the installation program: modifying shared windows DLLs should request the user’s agreement, because it cannot be guaranteed it has not any side-effects on other programs.
Do you have a suggestion to install PDFFORGE only, without any action on existing postscript drivers ?
thanks for your help.
