    Nito Pro v6 (x86) will not install print driver in Win 7 64bit


    I have been using this Nitro version on older Win 7 and newer Win 10 machines (all 64 bit) and have legally transferred the SW from one to the other. NEW Win 7 Pro 64 bit machine installed Nitro Pro in the Program(x86) folder but I do not have the ability to add the Nitro PDF Printer in the control panel. I have followed instructions to add a printer - "add a local", "use an existing port", "Nitro PDF Portlocal port), "next", "install the print driver", "have disk", and here is where I am stuck. It opens the "Install from Disk" pane and I have to hit browse - it looks for "*.inf"

    I have searched the C:\ hd and can only find such a file under "Program Files", "Common Files", "Nitro PDF", "Professional", "6.0", "x64", and selecting the only file there "nitroprinter.inf" returns the error of
    Nito Pro v6 (x86) will not install print driver in Win 7 64bit-tri557f.jpg

    I cannot figure out how to make a print driver for this software package and yet have sucesfully installed it on two previous machines.

    Any help will be appreciated. Again it is a 32 bit program running on a Win 7 64bit machine.

    How did you do this?. If you just copied the software from one computer it will not work. You have to download the software & install it on each computer, so you have to do 2 downloads, one for each computer & do separate installations.

    Nitro reader 5 includes a fully working print driver - this is installs with the free package - you could install this and then proceed to install the Pro version, (assuming you have the requisite Pro version Licensing for each copy you are installing, (either a suitable multi copy licence or the required number of individual licences))

    I followed the written instructions from Nitro back when I first "uninstalled" it from my older Win 7 (Asus P8P67 machine) and installed on Win 10 Machine (Asus P9x79). I used the same written instructions to again "uninstall" it from the older Win 10 machine and now put it on a new Asus X99-E-WS again running Win 7 which is what I have reverted to as my OS of choice.

    I have a fully legal licensed Pro version although it is old ver 6.0.0.29, I have the CD

    I will try uninstalling again and reinstall it over - maybe I missed something along the way?????

    Had you tried contacting Nitro Pro about this problem. I see they have a support section on their website, so that might be worth a try.

    Since I never could get the Pro ver to install a app printer, I did what you suggested and the free Nitro PDF reader properly installs the app PDF Printer. This is fine for now
