Install error (AddPrinterDriver)

[Alan]

I like Foxit Reader very much, and want to try PDF Creator too. When I push "Install" button it gives me error.

"Sorry, an error occured when install Foxit PDF Creator (AddPrinterDriver)."

I try install pdf-factory and its not installed too, but it say's that I have some missing windows shell information, and it can correct the problem. After restart installed Foxit pdf creator (Foxit printer) correctly.

Anyone have a solution for this error? I have the same issue.

Please install with Administration right

I have a similar issue. I cannot install Foxit Creator. I tried and keep getting error requesting that Foxit driver be un-installed. I have removed the folder from program files and removed all registry entries that I could find.

I have administrator rights and I still cannot install PDF Creator no matter what I try. Could you please help in some other way.

Please tell me the number after addprinterdriver message so that I can locate what the problem may be. Also tell me your operating system. Thank you.

Go into your Control Panel/Printers and Faxes, then click on File, Server Properties, click the Drivers tab and remove any PDF drivers that may be in there. Reboot so that there are no programs running that could be using the printer driver, then run the Foxit install program. The driver should then install. These are the steps I took to overcome the error messages.

I'd like to install the Foxit PDFCreator. If it is a small and fast as the reader, it seems to be perfect replacement for my regular PDF Printer.

But i also have the AddPrinterDialog error. Here is a screenshot of the failure during setup:



There is no printer installed, when the setup finishes. :(

System: Windows XP


What can I do?

I already deleted all printers and printer drivers and ran the cleanspooler-utility mentioned in the sticky thread above. I also tired changed the spooler path or delete the whole spooler directory without any success for the installation. Any more ideas?
