cdintf250.lib and programatic installation

ASRoden · Post by **ASRoden** » Fri Jun 16 2006

Hi, I am linking the cdintf250.lib with my process, but am having trouble automating the installation process. I have followed the DLL developer notes in the "Common Driver Interface 250.pdf" file, but for some reason my process crashes on me when trying to call the PDFDriverInit() function, Unless I have run the Install.exe first.

Is there a way to install everything programatically i.e. with PDFDriverInit() etc...? or will I have to run the Install.exe from my own install process?

Thanks.

Hello,

You can definitely run PDFDriverInit to install the printer, i suggest that you follow the call of PDFDriverInit by a call to EnablePrinter than a call to DriverInit so the printer is kept on the system even when closing your application.

For PDFDriverInit to run however you need to have administrative rights on the machine.

Hope this helps.

Ok this was a PATH issue. Thanks and sorry for the dumb question.
