Cutepdf Pro Silent Install Silverlight
Original Title: Catch-22: Print Spooler refuses to start, CutePDF Writer won't uninstall until Print Spooler starts
Big print spooler dilemma here, folks.
I tried to print a document today and received an error that I needed to install my printers. When I try to install my printers in the Control Panel, it says that Windows can't open Add Printer because the local print spooler isn't running.
I've gone into the Services area of the Control Panel and tried to force the print spooler to start, only to receive Error 1068: The Dependency or Group Failed to Start.
I've checked all print spooler dependencies and each one is running fine.
The one thing that I've identified that I think may be causing problems is the program CutePDF, which allows you to create PDFs from webpages, etc. It does that by emulating a printer, and I think that might be one of the issues. I've tried to uninstall CutePDF, but it won't uninstall from the Uninstall or Change a Program window. Instead, it tells me the print spooler must be running before i can uninstall CutePDF.
Install CutePDF Silently on Windows 7 64bit and remove the ASK Toolbar. Install a 32bit version of ghostscript alongside your 64bit version. Here is my silent install script below. Notice how we uninstall the ASK Toolbar using the msi reference point in the registry. This works quite well for us and we run the install script at logon. Apr 02, 2009 Below is a list of all of the Silverlight 1, 2, and 3 installation switches available and their description. This will be included in the Silverlight Enterprise Deployment guide v2 which I’m writing – to be released soon. In the mean time, here they are for your.

But I can't run the print spooler until CutePDF is deleted.
How To Install Cutepdf
Help!
Now my computer's Silverlight 5.1.10411.0 (x64) cannot be uninstalled because the MSI package is missing, how can I force it to uninstall? The reason that I want to do this is that I cannot redownload the installed of Silverlight 5.1.10411.0 (x64), there is a x86 one, but not x64 one - shame on you, Microsoft, or me for that I cannot find it using Google. Or if someone can point me to the right download package is also acceptable.

Here is a little article I have been working on, and although it does not address your question directly, it might be useful. Just pay attention to the registry keys I mention and you can generally delete them, as well as the C:Program FilesApplication folder to trick the installers into think
Everything You Wanted to Know about Add / Remove Programs in Windows
Have you ever wondered how Windows presents and uses the Add/Remove programs? Or perhaps you have the need to enumerate these values yourself? Here is some useful information on how it works, how to use it and some neat tricks you might enjoy.
Everything you see in add and remove programs (XP, Vista, 7 confirmed) is written to the registry at HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall as a subkey.
For example, I have the subkey CutePDF Writer Installation with the keys and values:
Now, of interest here is the UninstallString value. When you click “uninstall” in Add/Remove programs, what it does is call this value and run it. You can do the same manually, for example with CutePDF if you run C:Program Files (x86)Acro SoftwareCutePDF WriterSetup64.exe /uninstall from either the Run line or the command prompt, you will get the uninstaller. You could also find additional uninstall options by running the command with the /? switch, or run the following from the cmd prompt:
Note, this is a bad example as the switch does not return anything! But generally this will work, or you can just call the uninstaller manually this way.Now, let’s look at a possible problem with the Uninstall list, you will see some files that names in this format: {AFF7153F-C4AA-4C48-AEE9-8611D276CE86}
This is how a MSI installer writes its name to the Registry, instead of writing the friendly name an EXE installer writes, it writes its GUID.
This is not really a problem, as much as a difficulty in reading the keys. There are couple ways to read through these. One, there is a Value Name DisplayName that will have the more friendly value of (in this example) Quest ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory (x64).

Another approach, is Windows writes a “compressed and hashed” version of the GUID to another part of the Registry.
To Hash the value, take the GUID {AFF7153F-C4AA-4C48-AEE9-8611D276CE86} and reverse each set of hex digits.AFF7153F becomes F3517FFA, C4AA becomes AA4C and on down the GUID until you have the following:{F3517FFA-AA4C-84C4-9EEA-68EC672D1168}
Now, drop the {, -, and } to get F3517FFAAA4C84C49EEA68EC672D1168.You now have the compressed and hashed GUID that you can compare to another key.
You should now be able to find this new GUID at the following location in the Registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesInstallerProducts
And sure enough, there she is:
With the following keys:
Again, you can then look in ProductName for the name of the application. Torrent din standards for steel.
Bonus tip: You can launch the Add/remove programs by typing appwiz.cpl into the start search, run line or a command prompt.
It is 2017 now, I found a better way of force uninstall an application without msi.
Download the Microsoft tool from
Run it => Uninstall => Select the program => Done
With this there is no need to touch registry and no need to download third party tools that may contains Malwares.
