The program doesn't asks anything and installs itself in a fixed folder in drive C:, but I'm on a enterprise computer, where the c: driver is locked (I used an administrator password to install, but I cannot use this password to use the program day by day). How do I change the instalation directory?

Grant Modify access to C:\Program Files\ActivePDF\PrimoPDF. You may first remove the permission inheritance from the subdirectories since they do not seem to need to be written to. For some reason PrimoPDF is set up to write its temp files in this directory and I did not find a way to change this. This was how I got around that problem.
I have a STRONG recommendation for the programmer(s). PLEASE change the program so that
1) The temp directory can be CHANGED!!!!
2) The temp directory defaults to C:\temp
These would have solved a lot of my headaches, and apparently alessandro_ananias's headaches too.
Many commercial installations, including those here at the University of Missouri - Rolla, write protect the Program Files directory from normal users. Proper Windows ettiquette dictates that programs are installed there and it's never touched again; temp files should be written to a standard temp directory.
