I found the latest ccleaner version did not operate correctly on a win98se PC of mine:
-
Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.2222 A
Clean install using Full OEM CD /T:C:\WININST0.400 /SrcDir=D:\WIN98 /IE /NF /IZ /IS /IQ /IT /II /NR /II /C /U:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon XP 2000+
512MB RAM
75% system resources free
Custom swap file on drive C (1827MB free)
Available space on drive C: 1827MB of 4141MB (FAT32)

Hardware:
Motherboard ECS K7VTA3 V8.0
Video Asus 16MB AGP (w/ Riva TNT chipset)
Wavewatcher PCI (TV card)
Modem PCI agere 56k (aka Lucent Venus / Mars chipset)
Hard drive: 8GB PATA EIDE
CD/DVD burner: PATA EIDE
After a fresh install from a Win98se CD, I upgraded to MSIE 6 sp1 and then installed all MS updates.
I downloaded older versions of ccleaner off filehippo. Really old versions needed the vbrun60sp6.exe installed. I kept working my way up from old version, works OK, de-install, try the next newest version, etc. until I found that version v2.14.763 or older, work fine on Win98se. Any version newer than v2.14.768 does not work on Win98se: the symptoms are " 0 items are deleted " (similar to what others have stated).
Later, v2.14.768 continued to work fine after I installed Firefox 2.0.0.20 and Opera 9.63 browsers, with Java 1.5 and Flash 9 and made the newest browser (Opera 9.63) the default browser (has all the 'safer-browsing features' old browsers don't).
Here is what ccleaner v2.14.768 states is installed on this win98se PC:
7-Zip 4.65
Adobe Acrobat 5.0
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX
ASUS Display Drivers
CCleaner (remove only)
ClamWin Free Antivirus 0.94.1
Flash CD & DVD Burner
GetRight 5.2d
Internet Explorer Q916281
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 17
LanLight version 1.1
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools
Microsoft VGX Q833989
Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.20)
My Essentials Wireless USB Utility
Opera
Spybot - Search & Destroy
VIA Audio Driver Setup Program
Windows 98 KB891711 Update
Windows 98 KB896358 Update
Windows 98 KB908519 Update
Windows 98 KB918547 Update
Windows 98 Q823559 Update
Windows 98 Q888113 Update
Later, v2.14.768 continued to work fine when I changed the hard drive's partitioning to create a multi-boot PC:
hda1 fat32 partition for Win98se
hda2 ext3 partition for Linux Puppy3.01
hda3 swap and
hda4 ext3 partition Linux Ubuntu 6.06.1LTS.
I then set ccleaner to start up each time I restart: still OK.
I am posting this as an fyi to those that are running Win98se and have problems using the newer versions of ccleaner. I am happy to use version v2.14.768 on this win98se PC, and the newest version of ccleaner on my other PCs: WinXP, WinVista64, etc.
ccleaner is a very good app, nice job!
