Can't install v2.29

CCleaner for Windows
1

I am trying to install CCleaner v2.29 on a computer that has lost its Internet connection.

I know about the "phone home" feature in the new version, but this is preventing me from completing the install! When it comes to 'Checking system and updates..' it just hangs in there; nothing moves.

How do I install CCleaner on a system with no Internet connection?

Interesting question!

What about safe mode?

You think it wouldn't do it in Safe Mode?

I circumvented the problem by downloading v2.28 from a 3rd-party site.

Still, I think there should be an install option, either to check on the install panel, or run it with something like /nophonehome .

An additional point: the idea behind this "phone home" feature was to ensure that people install the latest available version.

In my case, and other systems that don't have an Internet connection, this has exactly the opposite effect: I was made to install an older version.

It should continue anyway even if there's no internet connection. Can you post your system specs?

Also you could download the Portable version and not have any call home or install ;)

Can you post your system specs?

Do you need the detail specs? Unfortunately this forum does not allow upload of Speccy snapshot files as attachments.

P.S. funny that Speccy (1.00.108) wouldn't list the network adapter (Intel? PRO/1000 MT Network Connection).
