Error installing Ghostscript

Post by Yonny »

I'm trying to install GPL Ghostscript 8.60 (so that I can install BullZip PDF Printer). It unzips all of its files, and then an error message pops up reading, "Error 0 running command setupgs.exe"

What does this mean, and what can I do about it?

I found something on the Internet describing this problem. The reason was a corrupt download of Ghostscript. However, it seems strange that you could unzip it if it is corrupt. Try downloading Ghostscript from the location below and let us know if it helps.

ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/GPL/

What do I do with them?

What do I do with the files I find at that link? Do I open "Current" and copy and paste its contents? Where should I put them in my file directory?

Browse to the gs860 folder and download the gs860w32.exe file.

Don't wanna sound stupid...

Well, I don't want to sound stupid, but I can't seem to download gs860w32.exe

The only way I can see to do that would be "Copy to Folder," and when I attempt to do that, I error out every time. I can't even copy the file! What's up with that?!
