We have this issue with both PDF Creator 1.6.0 and 1.7.2
Here’s the PDFCreator.INF:
[Setup]
Lang=english
Dir=C:\Program Files\PDFCreator
Group=PDFCreator
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=program,ghostscript,comsamples,helpfiles,helpfiles\english,languages,languages\english
Tasks=desktopicon,desktopicon\common,winexplorer
ServerInstallation=0
Win9xPrinterdriver=0
WinNtPrinterdriver=0
Win2k32bitPrinterdriver=0
Win2k64bitPrinterdriver=0
Offer=1
The above was created with the /saveinf command.
I’m thinking that the noicons works in conjunction with the:
Tasks=desktopicon,desktopicon\common,winexplorer
??
TIA

Hi,
have you tried deleting the desktopicon from the Tasks list?

Hey Robin,
I am installing the pdf creator exe with these commands:
/VERYSILENT /ForceInstall /NOCANCEL /NORESTART /LANG=german /NOICONS /COMPONENTS=program,ghostscript,languages\german
Its all good, the components are good, it doesnt make any startmenu entries and the language is OK as well.
BUT, i still get a desktop icon.
What do you mean with deleting from task list?
Is there a way with the exe to not create that icon?

Hi, sorry for the confusion:
"I’m thinking that the noicons works in conjunction with the:
Tasks=desktopicon,desktopicon\common,winexplorer"
Tasks=desktopicon,desktopicon\common,winexplorer"
kjhurni was using an .INF file , in which case everything you put after tasks=
will get installed, so i ment to remove the “desktopicon” from there.
If you are not using an .INF file and an icon gets created although you used the /NOICONS parameter, it might be a problem with the setup, I will have a look at it.
Which Windows are you runnning and did this happen for the latest version of PDFCreator (1.7.2)?
regards,
Robin
