Installing and Uninstalling Neevia PDFstamp
Before installing and/or using this product, please make sure you have carefully read the copyright notice and agreed to all of its terms. If you have any questions about the licensing agreement, feel free to call 1.954.981.9252 or send an email to sales@neeviaPDF.com.
To install Neevia PDFstamp:
download and save the http://neeviaPDF.com/prods/pdfstamp_setup.exe file to your hard disk. After downloading the file, double-click on it and follow the instructions. The installation procedure automatically detects your operating system, copies the needed files into your system directory and installs Neevia PDFstamp.
Unattended installation
To perform an unattended (silent) installation launch the PDFstamp installer with /sp /verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of supported switches:
/SP
Disables the "This will install... Do you wish to continue?" prompt at the beginning of Setup.
/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 Setup is very silent the installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with '/SP-' command line option explained above). If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command is not used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a “Reboot now?” dialog. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.
/NOCANCEL
Prevents
the user from canceling during the installation process, by
disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful
along with /SILENT.
/NORESTART
Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.
/DIR="x:\dirname"
Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory 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.
/user="username", /company="company name", /serial="serial number"
Use these switches to pass the registration info (username, company name and serial number) to the installer.
To remove Neevia PDFstamp from your system:
1. Select Settings -> Control Panel from the Start menu.
2. In the Control Panel click Add/Remove programs and select Neevia PDFstamp from the list.
3. Click the Add/Remove button to remove the program. A confirmation prompt is displayed.
Unattended uninstall
To perform an unattended (silent) uninstall, launch unins000.exe from the folder where PDFstamp has been installed with /verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of supported switches:
/SILENT, /VERYSILENT
When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user for startup confirmation or display a message stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are no longer in use are deleted automatically without prompting. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen. When '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstallation progress window is not displayed. If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstaller will reboot without asking.
/NORESTART
Instructs the uninstaller not to reboot even if it's necessary.
