Trying to install PDFCreator 1.7.3 on Windows 2000, i got error “This program does not support the version of Windows Your computer is running”. Where may be problem? On blog I found that v1.3.0 need Windows 2000+, but nothing about that W2k isn’t supported yet.
When it’s truth, which last PDFCreator version support W2k and is possible to download somewhere?
Thanks, Franta Hanzlik
Weird. I tried download & install some older PDFCreator versions from sf.net site with results:
v1.5.1 - Error “This program does not support the version of Windows Your computer is running” immediately after selectin language.
v1.4.3 - Error “This program requires Windows NT version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 or later” immediately after selectin language.
v1.3.2 - Installation will seem come through a whole, but at end, when installation window display “Create an entry in the Windows Explorer context menu”, error window appear with text “During the printer installation errors have occured. A detailed description can be found in the file “Setuplog.txt” in application path.”
“Setuplog.txt” contain:

My Windows 2000 version is ‘5.00.2195 Service Pack 4’.
What now? I’m doing something wrong?
Excuse me, I forgot translate Czech messages from “Setuplog.txt”. They are (roughly):
Result: Error 127 = Uvedená procedura nebyla nalezena =>
Result: Error 127 = The listed procedure could not be found
Result: Error 1801 = Název tiskárny je neplatný =>
Result: Error 1801 = The printer name is invalid
Hi,
the latest version supporting Windows 2k is version 1.4.0, but I recommend using version 1.2.3 instead, it seemed to be more stable.
You can download it from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/files/PDFCreator/
before installing it, uninstall any version of PDFCreator, reboot your computer and make sure the PDFCreator printer and pdfforge.dll got deleted successfully.
best regards,
