[wpkg-users] PDFCreator...

[Marco Gaiarin]

I've got really big troubles with pdfcreator recipes on the past,
and also following hints on:
	http://wpkg.org/PDFCreator
	http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=1360

does not cure completely, but time are scarce and PDFCreator users too
few...


Today i've start to do some fiddling, testing command line execution
carefully in a SYSTEM shell, comparing output and results, ...


After some trial and error i got the perfect commandline:

	"%ProgramFiles%\PDFCreator\unins000.exe" /silent /norestart /restartexitcode=999
	"%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\PDFCreator-0_9_9_setup.exe" /silent /norestart /restartexitcode=999 /components="HELPFiles\English,languages\italian" /tasks="desktopicon,fileassoc,winexplorer"

that work flawlessy on my cmd SYSTEM shell.

I copy that row on the wpkg .xml recipe, run WPKGClient and i got the
result attched, error:

	runtime error (at 110:383)

that prevent me to close the final pdfcreator installation window (the
error appear at 'Fine' press. everytime.).
Note that PDFCreator was perfectly installed and works.


After hitting my head on wall some time, i've found that running the
installer as:

	cmd /c start "" /wait "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\PDFCreator-0_9_9_setup.exe" ...

does not throw the error and all works as expected.


I'm curious why... ;-)))
