Hello,


you will need to create a shortcut of the setup.exe first. In the properties of the shortcut is a line called “Target”. In this line you will need to add the /ForceInstall at the end. 

If you then double-click on the shortcut, it will execute it with the paramter ForceInstall.

best regards,

Cay

Just in case another user runs into this, it was resolved by installing version 1.7.3 prior to updating to version 2.1.2. If there is a version of PDFCreator<1.7.3 installed on your computer with a missing unins000.dat, the current version will not install itself properly, even if the /ForceInstall parameter is used. We will update the F.A.Q accordingly soon.
