What a bizarre setup - encouraging people to install an executable in order to print something. Sounds super-dodgy to me, and if it isn't, it is super-stupid encouraging people to weaken their security installing untrusted stuff for what could be as simple as a dynamically generated PDF. Put it like this, if the Royal Mail can securely sell postage without having to install something, why on earth can't a voucher giveaway do the same?

Thanks for your opinion, do you have a solution for me

try cheating..

When it installs it creates a folder called Coupon Printer in Program Files (x86)

create it yourself and see what happens.

strangest thing is, all it seems to do is create a folder with a link to the website in it.

Nope! You posted on a techie forum, and speaking as a techie I am trying to alert you to the fact this carries risk (either accidental or designed) to do something that needsn't carry any risk. I mean, if next week you post saying 'my machine is running slow and I don't know why?', yet you installed some unknown software with admin privs against all recommended protocol...

OK install worked fine for me!!
Try this:
Rename that "coupon Printer" folder in the "program Files (x64)" folder!
go to "Start" then type in "%tmp%" in the "search for programs and files" box
It will open a folder
Delete everything in that folder (it's OK it all temporary files)
Reboot then try the install again

It might be files from an old install that's stopping it from working!

maybe that's why it can't create it... it's already there..

Does it create the folder on start menu and is there anything in it?

Yes, I posted earlier that it had installed in the start menu, just 2 website links

that's literally all it does.. so it sounds like it's been installed and it can't recreate the folder because it already exists.

So Itried deleteing the folder and the start menu folder and re installing and it still says the same and installs the same folders.

The unistall wont work either.

It isn't working as it won't let me print the coupons it just tells me to install the coupon printer.:mad::mad:

!!!!!! is going on
