CCleaner v2.35.1219 won't detect Adobe Flash Player

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = HKCR

So that would be the CLSID subfolder of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Thanks for the info Winapp2.ini. Usually I just go into the CURRENT_USER and LOCAL_MACHINE folders to remove stuff left behind by uninstallers.

Yes, the {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} entry is there.

This is what I have done. See my last post.

well just tried the flashplayer.xpt file saved it to desktop then dragged it to the flash folder in windows sy32 folder and it now works and shows up in app :lol: s[/b]

It has been officially fixed.

Go here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=29582&st=0&gopid=176789entry176789

Can the User with Chrome Confirm that their version is also fixed?

I'm on Chrome and updated CCleaner to the latest release and Flash is now showing up in CCleaner's Multimedia menu. I first removed the flashplayer.xpt dummy file from the Flash folder and then updated CCleaner via the piriform.com download link (I normally use FileHippo's download link, but this time I decided to try the other download link).

Thanks for the fix.

There was a bug in CCleaner v2.35.1219 which was not detecting Adobe Flash Cookies.

There is a new version of CCleaner v2.35.1223 which is available and this issue has been resolved :)

I installed the latest version (v2.35.1223) and I am puzzled. When I compare the embedded *.INI file info of v2.35.1219 with v2.35.1223 I don't see any changes but in spite of that the latest version does detect Adobe Flash Player. And in spite of that *.xpt file not being present in that particular folder.

Are you magic? :P how are you comparing the embedded for .1223? it's not posted

I use a program called Resourcehacker. (RH) Open in RS CC version v2.35.1223.

What's the difference between the embedded .ini file and the winapp.ini file in the CCleaner folder?

Make of it what you will, they appear the same to me :huh:

CCleaners INI's have been embedded into the exe for a while. Either you have a really old ini, or you've been downloading the embedded ones and putting them in the ccleaner folder. Deleting it does nothing, since its already inside the exe.

I always update CCleaner by installing the new version over the old one.

So the winapp.ini file in the CCleaner folder must be a leftover and useless.

I think that the difference (maybe and this is only a guess) that detects have now become OR as opposed to AND

by which I mean

oldversion

Detect=hkcr...

and

detectfile=%wirdir%...

newversion

Detect=hkcr...

or

detectfile=%windir%...
