[Not cleaning as super user]

Running CCleaner for Mac v1.10 as super/root user does nothing when clicking on the clean button.

 

Previous versions worked fine.

 

[Error 0x8004100a]

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Yes the report was indeed intended for the developers - I knew of no other way to submit it as a bug report.

 

BTW, just for them - and for completeness, here is the content of the debug log:

[Error 0x8004100a]

Older versions of Speccy would just crash - the latest beta now provides an error message.

 

Unknown system error: 0x8004100a

 

See attached image.

 

Any ideas anyone?

 

[Environment variables in custom locations]

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

A snippet from CCleaner's changelog:

 

Version History

 

v2.26.1050

--------------------------------------------

- Added vacuum SQLite databases for Firefox and Google Chrome.

 

v2.28.1091

--------------------------------------------

- Added support for custom locations for applications.

e.g. CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|C:\MyFirefox\Profile

 

Cleans the following Windows components:

 

* Firefox

- Temporary File Cache

- URL History

- Cookies

- Download manager

 

It states that when specifying a custom location with the FIREFOX directive and path that CCleaner will do it's full cleaning at that location - not just the vacuuming.

 

I think that you are over-complicating things. My suggestion is very simple - to allow environment variables where the profile path is, thus allowing CCleaner to work better for me.

[Environment variables in custom locations]

It IS ALREADY AVAILABLE when using winapp2.ini

 

Thanks Alan, but does winapp2.ini support the FIREFOX directive which instructs CCleaner to compact databases, etc?

[Environment variables in custom locations]

I would like to have the ability to add something like this:

 

FIREFOX|%appdata%\FirefoxPortable\

 

rather than

 

FIREFOX|c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\FirefoxPortable\

 

I use the local user's application data folder because it is faster reading/writing to a hard drive instead of my usb stick.

 

Is it possible to implement?

[CC2.28 Custom Locations Error]

When I add a custom location for my Firefox based browser, it starts to clean the correct custom location but then after a few steps into it, it crashes with the following error message:

 

---------------------------

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

---------------------------

Runtime Error!

 

Program: G:\utils\CCleaner.exe

 

R6002

 

- floating point support not loaded

 

 

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

 

The Custom location added to ccleaner.ini was

 

CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|\browser\.default\mozdata\UserData\

 

I am using relative paths as I am running from a USB drive.

[Firefox profile location]

Thanks for adding more Firefox cleaning:

 

CCleaner v2.26

26 November 2009 03:17

 

CCleaner can now vacuum (or compact) SQLite databases for Firefox and Google Chrome, which can speed up those browsers.

 

* Added vacuum SQLite databases for Firefox and Google Chrome.

 

Is is possible to add a custom Firefox profile folder location?

If not then I would like to suggest it as a feature request.

[Lockup on start]

Very ironic - providing system specs for a system spec program! ;-)

 

It's Windows XP Pro SP3 with IE 8.

Laptop is a HP NX6110

If I run Speccy.exe /debug then two empty files are created in the same folder named:

 

Speccy.exe_<date>_<time>.dmp and Speccy_log[1_00_057][<date>_<time>].txt

 

What else do you need?

[Lockup on start]

I have tried Speccy on several PC's and it works well, but on my home laptop it shows the start screen with all components "Analysing...", but there is stays indefinitely. If I switch to another app and switch back then the screen is not redrawn and it remains white. This is on XP Pro SP3. Is there anything that I should try?
