Hi there, when installing PDFCreator 1.7.2 it says "Attention: detected
an installation of the new PDFCreator.Net. This setup can not
automatically uninstall PDFCreator.net. Please uninstall it from the
control panel!"
How can I proceed? Actually there seems to be no
version of PDFCreator installed - I cannot uninstall sth from the
control panel, which does not exist. The error occurs after using the
system restore mechanism to repair the WLAN drivers. Any ideas?
Hi,
this is very odd, please try installing version 1.7.2 with the /Forceinstall parameter.
Did you have a version of the .Net PDFCreator installed previously (1.9.x)?
regards,
Robin
Hello,
I have the same problem in my environment.
Previous installed version was 1.3.2.
After automatic install of 1.7.2 previous version was removed but installation of 1.7.2 keeps failling with “Attention: detected
an installation of the new PDFCreator.Net. This setup can not automatically uninstall PDFCreator.net. Please uninstall it from the
control panel!” error message.
The /FORCEINSTALL parameter gives the same error.
Any suggestions on how to install PDFCreator 1.7.2?
Hi,
please check if the PDFCreator printer got removed from your list of printers and the pdfcmon.dll got deleted from your windows\system32 folder.
You can also try to reinstall version 1.3.2, reboot your computer, then manually uninstall it from the control panel and run the setup for 1.7.2 after a reboot.
regards,
Robin
