Hi,

   Please vote for what you would like to see as your top 1 or top 2 priority features (please do not vote for everything as the above are all on my list).

   The poll will only allow you to select one item, but you can vote more than once. I am asking that you vote no more than twice please.

--------------------------------

   Also, my personal "todo" list is quite a bit longer. I have some various user interface improvements in the works, so try to think about the next "big thing".

   Please keep in mind that Question #1 would likely be either a different product or add-on to PDF reDirect Pro, and that I would charge for that capability.

   Thank you for your feedback.

Hi,

   Thanks for the feedback. I have some good news for you on a couple of items.

   I actually removed the selection of the installation path in the installer UI, because Microsoft's latest requirements for programmers prohibits that programs not be installed in the Program Files directory for Vista and Win 7. In particular, their new structure help segregate 32 from 64 bit programs. Also, if it's in the right folder on Win XP, it helps with the upgrade from Win XP to Win 7.

    However (good news), you can still specify a custom location via the command line by using the "/D" switch for Windows XP installations (see below for the details).  The path for the Start Menu items is automatically adjusted when you use a custom location.

   For the GUI address field proposal to copy/paste the path... It's already there! Simply paste (or type) the path into the filename edit box, and it will take you there.

   For the Preferences suggestion: you have made a good point. I will fix with the next release. In the mean time, you can "fix" this for new installations for your users by tweaking the preferences file (prefs_v2.ini), as follows:

from:
-->WarnOverwrite= 0

to:
-->WarnOverwrite= 1
   Thanks for the suggestions!

Customized Installations (Switches)

   For custom installations, you can also create a "batch file" that runs the installation program, and you can use the following switches to have the installation program run the way you want it. For example, use:

    * /S for silent installation, and
    * /D to specify a custom installation folder (to override the default which is C:\Program Files\PDF reDirect) Warning: this will not work on Windows Vista & Win 7 due to the new restrictions in that Operating System.


   So, step by step, you would do the following:

         1. Open Notepad,
         2. Type the following:  "Install PDFR Pro.exe" /S /D=X:\Folder\Sub-Folder
         3. Change "X:\Folder\Sub-Folder" to whatever you need.
         4. Save the File as "Install_Pro_Silent.bat" (or something similar) in the same folder where the installation program is located.
         5. Double-click the batch file to run it.


   Alternatively, you can create a shortcut with the command line switches described above instead of a Batch File, or you can enter the command using the Start Menu >>> Run... command.
