Running Print to PDF in any application causes an Inventor installer to run

We have installed Inventor and AtuoCad Mechanical 2015 on a couple of test machines and it has been noticed that when running any other application on the workstation, selecting to Print to PDF using PDF Creator causes either an Inventor or AutoCAD installer dialogue to start. For the average user, this causes a problem, because they do not have access to the installation media nor do they have rights to carry out the install.

Our reseller has told us that the solution is to grant each user local admin rights so that they can carry out this install, however, when we roll this out to a couple of hundred workstations, this is not really feasible.

Has anyone else experienced this?

What is the interaction between Inventor and AutoCAD 2015 and PDF Creator that causes this and is there a way to stop it happening?

I have seen this before, don't remember which application it was. I would try repairing or uninstall & reinstall on the application that is causing Inventor installation to run.

I have sent separately to Ondrej a file which should register his Inventor installation and hopefully will solve the issue for him.

I applied a fix to this original issue, but it seems to now invoke a Navisworks installer whenever PDF Creator is launched in another application.
