PDFCreator 1.2.2 problem by using install-script

Dear PDFcreator maintainers,

At first many thanks for maintaining this very nice program. I'm a happy user for years now (donation will follow soon ;- )

Before this new version I always installed PDFcreator on Win7 x64 and Win XP by using an install-script and ini-file as below:

install-script:

"\\\\server\\share\\pdfcreator\\PDFCreator-1_2_2_setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART /LOADINF="\\\\server\\share\\pdfcreator\\pdfcreator-x32.ini"

or

"\\\\server\\share\\pdfcreator\\PDFCreator-1_2_2_setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART /LOADINF="\\\\server\\share\\pdfcreator\\pdfcreator-x64.ini"

ini-file:

[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=
Printername=PDFCreator
ServerInstallation=0
Win9xPrinterdriver=0
WinNtPrinterdriver=0
Win2k32bitPrinterdriver=0
Win2k64bitPrinterdriver=0
Toolbar=0
DontUseYahooSearch=0
 

or

[Setup]
Lang=english
Dir=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PDFCreator
Group=PDFCreator
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=program,ghostscript,comsamples,helpfiles,helpfiles\\english,languages,languages\\english
Tasks=
Printername=PDFCreator
ServerInstallation=0
Win9xPrinterdriver=0
WinNtPrinterdriver=0
Win2k32bitPrinterdriver=0
Win2k64bitPrinterdriver=0
Toolbar=0
DontUseYahooSearch=0
 

This always worked fine, but with the new version this only works flawless on the Win7 x64 (dutch) computers and not on the Win XP (dutch) computers. It returns a message to restart first. After restarting the PDFCreator-printer is set on offline and no PDF's can be created.

Before using this install-script to update previous installed PDFCreator, there was version 1.2.1 installed.

Is there a problem with the new version or is there something to improve in the way I install? Please let me know.

Kind regards

Any PDFCreator/PDFForge crew able to respond to this?

Need to know if something is changed, so I should change the install-scripts or if it's a bug I will skip this version.

Thanks.

Well, I fixed it with a (work-around) uninstall-line before the installation command. Most of the time this works fine, sometimes it needs a second installation which is ofcourse annoying.

Pitty to see there is not much support here from the crew...

This problem still exists with version 1.2.3. It also occurs on US-english Windows XP computers.

Can any PDFForge support people or any one else please let me know what the problem is?
