What does this mean? What error are you getting? What do the log say?

You haven't mentioned the setup commands that you have used. "Unable to Deploy" can mean anything. So explain what you are doing in detail and also check the deployment information on the PDF creator website.

Hi all,
i've downloaded the .exe file and then used those arguments :
PDFCreator-Setup.exe /VerySilent /Lang=fr /NoIcons /Components="Program"

I also tried to use the old method that works with a 1.x version of the soft that calls for an inf file for the config :
PDFCreator-Setup.exe /LOADINF="Pdfcreator_1.0.inf" /verysilent /NoIcons /SP-

INF file :
[Setup]
Lang=French
Dir=%programfiles%
Group=PDFCreator
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=program
Printername=PDFCreator

Same result the installation is not silent

When i try those commands directly on the computer, the installation isn't silent and i think it's the rootcause.

I launch another deployment via SCCM application and give you the SCCM error.

I finally extracted the .exe file with 7z and in those files, there is another .exe file. I used the same command line in SCCM application with the new exe file and the error in software centre is different :

Try executing the silent package via PsExec first. if it works fine but not with the SCCM. enable user interface and deploy again.

i.e.,

• On command prompt (as Administrator)
• Execute this command line, psExec -s -i cmd.exe
• This will open another window
• Go to package location
• Run the package.

I launched this command in the psexec window : PDFCreatorSetup.exe /VerySilent /Lang=fr /NoIcons /Components="Program"

The setup begins with the correct parameter (the command parameters are understood by the exe file because the language is fr, the desktop shortcut is disabled and the architect module is disabled too) but the setup launches a window and the setup is not silent, i have to click on the "install" button :

 

[MJ-Tech]

Try setup.exe? And find the silent parameter.

If you are unable find the parameter using above method ,

* install the application, go to hklm\software\microsoft\windows\current version\uninstall - search the product..find the value of uninstall key. Sometime we can able to see the silent parameter in that value.


Otherwise, find the silent parameter from its vendor site.

If you can able to execute the installation silently via psexec, then you won't find issues in sccm deployment as well.

Hi muneer,
Nothing with setup /? Or /h -? -h etc
I also tried the unknstall registry key

With the psexec i had the same problem.


I Think i will have to install it manually and make a new sysprep image ‍

Please double check whether you are trying with offline installer?
