Install PDFCreator without toolbar or user interaction

There is a major issue with the current 0.9.8 PDFCreator installer, as it installs the browser toolbar even if it is unchecked in the wizard. (Discussed here.)

To work around this issue (and make the installation process easier for your users), use a settings file during installation:

Download the most current PDFCreator installer from http://pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator/download

Using Notepad, create a file containing the following:

[Setup]
Lang=english
Dir=C:\Program Files\PDFCreator
Group=PDFCreator
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=program,ghostscript,helpfiles,helpfiles\english,languages,languages\english
Tasks=
Printername=PDFCreator
ServerInstallation=0
Win9xPrinterdriver=0
WinNtPrinterdriver=0
Win2k32bitPrinterdriver=0

Save the file as pdfcreator.inf. Of course, your own preferred settings (like language) may vary. You can generate your own file by running the installer from the command line as follows:

PDFCreator_0_9_8_setup.exe /SAVEINF="pdfcreator.inf"

Using Notepad, create a file containing the following:

PDFCreator-0_9_8_setup.exe /LOADINF="pdfcreator.inf" /SILENT

Save the file as setup.bat.

Distribute the PDFCreator-0_9_8_setup.exe, pdfcreator.inf and setup.bat files, and install using the setup.bat file. It will install the driver using your specified default settings without prompting the user.

Bonus: You can distribute these in a zip archive, or even better, create a self-extracting archive (SFX) using a program like WinZip or 7-Zip. This option also gives you the ability to automatically run a program (in this case, your setup.bat) once the archive has been extracted.
