Single machine has trouble installing PDFCreator (PDFCreator-Professional-4_4_2_42835-Setup_x64.msi). Switched on verbose logging and this is a snipped of the log where it goes wrong:

Hi Florian,

I did contact support, but they can't fix it. I can still use an older version, so it's not that big a deal. But maybe someone else's had the same problem and maybe a solution?
