Re: question to "Sybase DataWindow PS"-printer, if I deploy a powerBuilder-application

On Windows 8, there was a ghostscript bug which caused the ghostscript installation to hang.

http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693657

The workaround was to:

1. Open your charms (the right side popup menu) and select “Settings” and Click
   on the last option on the list called “Change PC Settings”
2. In the “General” category click the “Restart now” button under “Advanced
   startup”
3. Then the system restarts it will show you several options, you want to
   select “Troubleshoot” then “Advanced options” and finally “Startup Settings”
4. The system will reboot one more time and you will have a new listing of
   options, you will want to select option #7 “Disable Driver Signature
   Enforcement”
5. After the system has finished restarting for the final time you will be able
   to add the Ghostscript printer to windows 8 64 bit.
6. The final item of note is that you must select “File: (print to file)” as
   the port for the printer as “LPT1″ will not work.

There is a KBA article on it, KBA 1980167 - Cannot install Sybase DataWindow PS using Ghostscript on Windows 2012
