Disable AutoUpdate (silent install // Ver. 2.0.2)

Hi,

is there a option to set the UpdateInterval to “Never”? I saw a registry key with this value…but everytime you start pdfcreator for the first time the registry keys will be overwritten :( 
Is there a “setup-file” where I can set these options?

Hi,


did you set this under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDFCreator.net\Settings\ApplicationSettings ?
The entry there shouldn’t get replaced, unless you completely uninstall PDFCreator (instead of doing an update). There is no way to set this during the setup.

best regards,

Hi,


it’s a new installation.

I set the following Reg-Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDFCreator.net\ApplicationSettings
-> UpdateInterval (Typ=REG_SZ) = "Never"

But after I started PDFcreator the value change to “Weekly” :frowning:

Hi,

you are right, if this is set before running PDFCreator for the first time it will be overwritten.
You can create the key in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\PDFCreator.net\ApplicationSettings instead, this is where PDFCreator looks for predefined settings.


best regards,

Hi,


first…thanks for your answer :slight_smile: But unfortunately this doesn’t work :frowning:
I created the following key:
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\PDFCreator.net\ApplicationSettings -> UpdateInterval = "Never"

But after I started PDFCreator the key under:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDFCreator.net\Settings\ApplicationSettings -> UpdateInterval  where set to "Weekly"

I think the HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT\… only where set if you login with a new User?

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\PDFCreator.net\Settings\ApplicationSettings
