PDFCreator versions 0.9.8 and above fails with a Ghostscript version error when another Ghostscript installation is encountered in the environment of the machine on which PDFCreator is installed. (see log excerpt below) This behavior did not occur in version 0.9.7.
I'd like to start using the newer releases because of the fixes applied to the COM interface issue(s), but can't eliminate the references to the other GS installation because of other processes that run on the server involved.
Please let me know if this is a PDFCreator bug, or if there is another workaround. Thanks.
