Unins000.dat doesn’t exist¶

You will most likely need to reinstall the version you are trying to uninstall with the parameter /ForceInstall . If you don’t have the installer anymore, you can download most versions here:

http://download.pdfforge.org/download/pdfcreator/list

If you are using an older version you may have a look here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/files/PDFCreator/

This should create the proper unins000.dat again and allow you to uninstall the application.

To execute an installation with the parameter /ForceInstall you can create a Windows shortcut of the file and add the parameter /ForceInstall to “target” in the shortcuts properties. Afterwards please restart your computer, then the update should work.
