I couldnt find any option to attach my files with this reply, so i am just posting my source code. This code installs printer. The files PScript5.dll, pscript.hlp are same as PDFCreator after installation. .PPD and .ntf files are my old files. MyPDFCreator.dll, the config file used for PrinterDriver is my own file compiled to x64 bit. Please, let me know if u need anything else. Thanks
