mwayne Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi everyone,wouldn't it be great to have an official portable app of CCleaner?There is already a portable launcher for CCleaner over [link removed by moderation] Why PortableApps.com Format and a PortableApps.com Installer? Would you give PortableApps.com the permission to repackage and redistribute CCleaner? best regardsmwayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2014 The Piriform owners aren't going to allow that link being it's unofficial so I've removed it. There already is an official CCleaner Portable available from Piriform at: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted December 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2014 PortableApp versions are OK, but useless if a program is already portable, such as ccleaner. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted December 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi and a belated welcome mwayne, even though this forums members, including Moderators, are all volunteers and are not affiliated with Piriform, I think the message @Nergal was trying to imply is "Thanks, but no thanks". this is due to Piriform already having a fully portable version of their product on their website. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Moderators Nergal Posted December 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2014 Also there used to be a PA version, it may have been pulled if they (PA) were distributing without Piriform's concent.

Chim Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 PortableApp versions are OK, but useless if a program is already portable, such as ccleaner. Well ... I for one would prefer a PortableApps.com version of CCleaner over Piriform's Portable version. Why? Oh, there's nothing wrong with Piriform's version. But, since I do use the PortableApps.com platform on my Flash Drives, a PortableApps.com version of CCleaner would be much easier / much faster to install. Just Bada Bing Bada Bang ... BAMM! DONE! For that reason I always prefer the PortableApps.com version of whatever portable apps I use over whatever other versions might be available.

I think it's possible to skip the compression for the CCleaner.exe. Other companies also don't allow repacking, but they give PA.c a permission to do so. Also there used to be a PA version, it may have been pulled if they (PA) were distributing without Piriform's concent. I've linked it in the first post, but I got removed.

Moderators Andavari Posted January 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2015 A dead cause I'd think that will go absolutely nowhere, since it's already been explained that Piriform have their own official portable edition available.

login123 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 A dead cause I'd think that will go absolutely nowhere, since it's already been explained that Piriform have their own official portable edition available. The Piriform version works fne, tried it when this topic started and just now again. Easily done, just extract the zip file on the USB stick & run the exe, 32 or 64 bit. Whats wrong with that? Just saying, not arguing, whats wrong with the Piriform version? The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoover Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 A dead cause I'd think that will go absolutely nowhere, since it's already been explained that Piriform have their own official portable edition available. Software integrated into the PortableApps.com Platform auto-updates. Does Piriform portable software too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted November 12, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2016 Piriform products only auto-update if you have the Pro version, pretty sure that still applies to the portable editions if you are still within the yearly subscription. Personally, I'm a big fan of manual updates, I like to see how others 'test in the real world' a new release before opting in.
