How to silently install CutePDF Writer and GPL Ghostscript
Issue
The silent installation of the two required products is non-standard, and not immediately obvious.
Resolution
1) Silently install Ghostscript
Using v8.15 from Cute PDF
http://www.cutepdf.com/download/converter.exe
- Rename converter.exe to converter.zip
- Right click on converter.zip and select Extract All...
- Click Extract
- Run converter\Setup.exe
OR
Using 8.63 from SourceForge
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ghostscript/gs863w32.exe
- Rename gs863w32.exe to gs863w32.zip
- Right click on gs863w32.zip and select Extract All...
- Click Extract
- Run gs863w32\setupgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs"
Note: This may not work over a UNC path. Using pushd and popd as per
http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=515
may resolve the issue (courtesy Andy Hawkesworth).
2) Silently install CutePDF Writer
http://www.cutepdf.com/download/CuteWriter.exe
