Install novaPDF Printer

novaPDF Setup has the following command line parameters:

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT
Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed
If a restart is necessary and the /NORESTART command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with /SILENT and /VERYSILENT.

/NOCANCEL
Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT or /VERYSILENT.

/NORESTART
Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.
/RESTARTEXITCODE=exit code
Specifies the custom exit code that Setup is to return when a restart is needed. Useful along with '/NORESTART'

/DIR="x:\dirname"
Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.

/GROUP="folder name"
Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

/LANG="language"
Specifies the language to use for the installation. When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed.

/Languages="language1-language2-..."
Specifies the languages that will be installed. Use short language codes (like "en-it"). See the complete Language codes list.

/DefaultLang="language"
Specifies the default language. Use short language codes (like "en") or the "REGST" constant for "Use regional settings" option. See the complete Language codes list.

/PrinterName="printer name"
Name of the installed printer. By default the name is "novaPDF Pro v4"

/RegisterName="registration name"
novaPDF Printer registration name

/RegisterKey="license key"
novaPDF Printer Registration key (not the sdk application license key, but the printer license key)

/Default
Instructs setup to set the printer as default printer.

/NoInstallIfExists
Instructs setup to check if a novaPDF printer, with the same name, is already installed. If it is, it does not start the installation

Here is an example of how to call the silent installer:

novapp.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NOCANCEL /NORESTART /PrinterName="novaPDF Pro v4"

Uninstall novaPDF Printer
When installing novaPDF Printer, there will be added a Start Menu folder for the novaPDF Printer. There will be also an menu item for the uninstaller.
If you installed with default directory name, the uninstaller is located at:
"C:\Program Files\Softland\novaPDF Printer Professional 4\unins000.exe".


The uninstaller has also some parameters for silent uninstall (they have the same meaning as for the installer, see above for details):
/SILENT
/VERYSILENT
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
/NORESTART
