Good detective work!
I just needed the first DLL though, which is a part of the "System Restore Core" component, but the installation goes through with just the DLL, in the (probable) case you don't want to get the whole bunch of System Restore.
And further more, the installation ist best done from FBA, unattended.
Something like that:
PDFCreator-0_9_5_setup.exe /SP /SILENT /NOCANCEL /NORESTART /LOADINF="PDFCreator.inf"
(where the inf file has beend created before hand)


Hi, ... replay by my self ;-)
The solution for me is: On the XP embedded there are some files missing for the successful printer installation needed.
<system32>\srclient.dll
<system32>\wbem\framedyn.dll
This may help others...
