Hello,
I try to install the PdfCreator 5.0.3 with Powershell command : .\PDFCreator-5_0_3-Setup.exe /SILENT /NORESTART
With /VERYSILENT switch ForceInstall ,....
But I have all time the popup = > Welcome to the PDFCreator Setup
With the choice language and the advanced settings.

How to bypass all of this and have a full silent installation
Thank you for the answer

Hi there,

I have just tested it successfully using a command prompt: PDFCreator-5_0_3-Setup.exe /silent
No pop-up shown. No restart required.

Does work for you using cmd?

Hi,

Do you have any news ?

I have tried many commands with Powershell or cmd prompt.
But I have all time the popup "Welcome to the PDFCreator Setup"

Did you try this cmd with the free version ?
PDFCreator-5_0_3-Setup.exe /silent

Regards

I'm also trying to install it silently but not working..
Using this:
PDFCreator-5_0_3-Setup.exe /LOADINF=pdfc503.inf /FORCEINSTALL /SILENT /NORESTART

Same issue here….be good to know if this does actually work silently and what the cmd line is to surpress the popup?

If there isn’t one, that would be really helpful to know as well

Please have a look in our User Guide for a potential explanation for silent installations not working as well as introducing 'Winget installation' for PDFCreator from version 5.2.0 onwards:
https://docs.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/en/pdfcreator/installing-pdfcreator/setup-command-line-parameters/#verysilent

/VerySilent

Instructs the setup to be very silent without any user interaction. If a restart is necessary, it will reboot without asking.

In Windows domains, /VERYSILENT is only available in our PDFCreator Business Editions.

There is no need to add this parameter, if installing with Winget, as it is automatically used (see Windows Package Manager (Winget) Installation).
