It looks as if PDFCreator has changed its mechanism for downloading
packages;
"http://cdn.download.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/1.6.1/PDFCreator-1_6_1_setup.exe"
does not work.

However,
"http://download.pdfforge.org/download/pdfcreator/1.7.0/PDFCreator-1_7_0_setup.exe?file=AMIfv978KGMB273KLKDswNYpK7AeDj4S5G__PGG09Gvj0xTiu59MzVI_a_tq7eQDLoJeZHYjrzhVgKqc57BMFt6jqLpEgb-vnxuk39qCdwHL5AvVeGZCu_RhIauaJYJb9T4ZuZ58CAJbkNEzrIW_abCE7uLX2I71ncOrY0EfQc5TPRMgECag0MU&download"
does work.

They've also gone from version 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 (although other/older
releases can be downloaded from here):

The following is a bit clumsy:

Also, it looks as if some of the installer switches are different. The
above will also install PDF Architect, change the default search
provider to Bing, and install PDF Architect toolbars to browsers. To
avoid PDF Architect (which will look online for its .msi unless the
offline version of PDFCreator was downloaded) and its toolbars:
