PDFDriver install failure

Post by Jeff_Hunt_(Guest) » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:30 am

Windows NT/2000 Install__--------------------------------------__Spooler Error__Error Code: -1__Unknown Error...__--------------------------------------____This is the log file I get after trying to install on a Server 2003 box. I did go into GPEDIT.MSC and Disable "Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers". Any ideas what Error Code: -1 might be? I^ve other Server 2003 boxes which I have successfully installed, in fact did so just this morning as a test. Also, might there be an updated version of the PDFDriver? Mine is dated 12/01/2004.____Thanks,__Jeff.

Hi,____We occasionally get this message when installing the PDF driver at customers. The resolution is to execute install.exe with the -p switch. This will prevent the installation routine from trying to stop and then restart the print spooler.____Hope this helps,______Mike Wilcock__Stanford Technologies Limited
