hey, I would just like to let vista users know about this issue I have noticed since I started using vista and CCleaner
it may have been in XP as well, but I did not notice it then...
I'm not sure which one it is exactally but either "hotfix uninstallers" under advanced or "config.mis folder" under windows... but after cleaning those, I cannot uninstall/modify quite a few programs as the msi installers are missing...I have noticed it with nero, diskeeper, and some others that I don't remember off the top of my head...
Yeah, the Config.msi are just that, saved opportunity to reconfigure installed apps without the install media. Should work fine thou if you run the installer from the original source again.

ah, see my problem is that once I install something I usually get rid of the installer... (say some trial version of nero) so in order to uninstall it... I would have to go re-download that again =( or keep the installers... so, thats why I suggest people don't clean that
ty for the info
Doesn't Windows place the .msi files in "C:\WINDOWS\Installer" on Vista?
I know on XP that the "C:\Config.msi" folder may eventually contain junk in it from sloppy installers, and uninstallers that don't automatically remove their leftovers.
