How to find out if already installed?

Post by Matchay »

Hello,

how to find out if the PDF-XChange printer driver has already been installed? Existance of which registry key is a proof for that? What should be done if we're doing a silent install and we find out the printer is already there (e.g.: when End User is updating our software and we need to update/leave the current installation of PDF-XChange printer)?

Best regards,
Maciej Tokarski

Best case is to check the registry value InstallPath located by the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange 4.0\Drivers

This value should contains the path where drvui40.dll and pdfSaver4.exe located.
