Silent Installation

[namfan]

Do you allow silent installation. If so, will you please provide the switches or arguments necessary to allow.

Thank you,

I use /verysilent as parameter.

But I'm still looking how to disable the start menu icon creation and the automatic update checking.

The silent install does not function properly on windows 7 (32-bit).
At the end of the installation a dialog is presented asking the following:

Would you like to install this device software?

Then i have to manually click on "Install" to have the driver installed.
Apparently the PDF 24 printer driver is not trusted and that makes it break the silent install.

Is it possible for this problem to be solved?
Or is there a workaround available?

[delecorski]

ive got exactly the same problem like ruudboek
Any solutions?

[pdf24]

Oh yes, that's really a problem. We use a Thawte certificate to sign the printer driver. Maybe that's the problem. Could is be that microsoft only trusts certificates from special CA's?

I'll check the install process, maybe there is a special flag in install command.

any solutions admin?

Solution:

Install the Geek Software GmbH Cert before install pdf24

certutil.exe -f -addstore "TrustedPublisher" PDF24-Zertifikat.p7b
