This little free software, very useful (see details here), needs to run another soft called GPL Ghostcript (an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF - displays, print and convert PostScript and PDF files).

See details for GPL Ghostscript at the bottom of the article.

I encountered an error last week which caused some trouble in printing PDF files.
Looking for some additional options for professional printing i've installed another free software which also requires ghostscript.

I did installed the ghostscript included with that software and didn't look up what version is.
After that, i tested that program but didn't helped much and tried to come back to CutePDF Writer.

It was impossible to run it again.I get the error gswin32c.exe ahs encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the incovenience.

I tried to uninstall everything, delete the registry with all possible garbage related to GPL Ghostscript. But not a chance.

As it comes the GPL Ghostscript 8.15 it has no uninstaller and when uninstall CutePDF Writer it does delete the Ghostscript files.

You can manually clean the registry from:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GPL Ghostscript 


SOLUTION: 
After cleaning download and install the latest version of GS "gs901w32.exe" off Ghostscript Last version (on 06/04/2011)


This will solve that problem. Yes, it's that simple.

You can check just to be sure next registry values:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\GPL Ghostscript\
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GPL Ghostscript (for 64 bites system)

GS_DLL (it's value is the path to --> gsdll32.dll - which must be the same with the place is installed the Ghostscript)
GS_LIB (it's value is the path to the Ghostscript instalation folder)



TIP!: As an advice, try to be carefull everytime you install something and it doesn't have that protection to announce you that you already have a newer version.

The Support Team from Acro Software Inc. were very promt to answer the problem and it is a good thing that support is offered for free software.
