yes, it is true the the pdfforge.dll now uses .Net 2.0. This is because we use iTextSharp which again has switched to .Net 2.0 since 5.0 and we also hope to reduce problems with a missing .Net 1.1 installation on Vista / Windows 7 installations.
It seems that some parts of PDFCreator and the Help still talk about .Net 1.1, so we need to update that as well.
The reference to .NET 1.1 in the log is misleading. That should be .NET 2.0! So the path to regasm.exe of .NET 2.0 was correct after all.

Windows 98 (it did matter afer all) does not have the environment variable "SystemRoot". Consequently pdfcreator can't find the .NET 2.0 directory and assumes pdfforge.dll is not installed (Common\\modGeneral.bas line 2339).
Workaround:
Set a variable "SystemRoot" in AUTOEXEC.BAT. That variable should point to the Windows Directory.
So, if the Windows Directory is C:\\WINDOWS then add the following to AUTOEXEC.BAT:
