The Cancel button for the full and the stub installers is non-functional. Yes, there was a colon at the end of "action". It hung at 75% with "Rolling back action:". I tried installing doPDF 8.0.910 via the stub installer. I can tell from my experience - both my career and my attempts to install doPDF - that grossly insufficient testing (if any) was performed on the latter. Effectively, my job involved intense quality control in which we had to use the software in realistic situations before we would permit it to be installed by the U.S. I was a software test engineer for 30+ years, working on complex systems for operating a multitude of different earth-orbiting, military space satellites. (Whack-a-Mole again!!)ĬONCLUSION: doPDF itself is an excellent application. It also left novaPDF add-ins for Office, which reappear as soon as they are uninstalled.
This left a partial installation of doPDF, which I was able to uninstall. However, the installation hung at about 87%, looking for related applications. This time, there was no complaint about needing to uninstall a prior version. I then tried again to install doPDF 8.0.910. All this finally eliminated novaPDF from the list in Window's Programs and Features window. Then, I purged my registry of references to doPDF, novaPDF, and Softland, finding many references to doPDF 7 when my current (old version) was doPDF 8. Next, I located all instances of doPDF, novaPDF, and Softland on my hard drives, deleting all except the new installer, logs, and files of E-mail message about doPDF. In desperation, removed doPDF from my list of printers. This was almost like a game of Whack-a-Mole, but this is serious and not a game. Attempts to uninstall novaPDF, however, all succeeded - according to Windows but all novaPDF components reappeared.
The only buttons were Try Again and Close. Contrary to replies in other forum topics, the failure window did NOT have an OK button. Attempts to uninstall doPDF 8.0.907 repeatedly failed. I could not install doPDF 8.0.910 because I had not uninstalled doPDF 8.0.907. Yes, I know there are other topics with this subject.
