Corel® PDF Fusion™ Installation Guide

The Corel® PDF Fusion™ Installation Guide documents installation
options so system administrators can carry out an unattended (or silent)
installation and specify custom settings, such as installation folder, serial
number, and more.

Corel PDF Fusion supports Setup.exe command lines and most Windows
Installer command lines using Setup.msi. Each sample command line
provides examples of both Setup.exe and Setup.msi command lines. Use
the one that best suits your installation requirements.

Preparing for the installation

In preparation for the installation, there are a couple of things you can do
to simplify the process:

• verify the version of .NET Framework you have installed

• modify system properties to speed up installation of the Corel PDF
Creator virtual printer driver (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 only)

Verifying the .NET Framework version

You must have .NET Framework 4.0 or later installed before you can install
Corel PDF Fusion. If you’re installing from a CD, .NET Framework 4.0 is
included in the installation package. If you’re using electronic software
distribution (ESD), you must ensure that you have .NET Framework 4.0 or
later installed. If you don’t, you can download .NET Framework from
http://www.microsoft.com/net/download.

Installing the virtual printer driver on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

When installing the Corel PDF Creator virtual printer driver on Windows XP
or Windows Server 2003, the Hardware Installation dialog box might
appear because the operating system can’t verify the driver. You can
prevent the display of this dialog box.

1 Click the Start button.
2 Right-click My Computer, and choose Properties from the menu that

appears.

3 In the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab.
4 In the Drivers area, click Driver Signing.
5 In the Driver Signing Options dialog box, enable the Ignore option,

click OK, and click OK again.

Running the full installer

You can run the full installer (Setup.exe or Setup.msi) to install Corel
PDF Fusion with the user interface (UI) visible for an attended installation,
or without any UI for a silent installation.
