I've been using CCleaner on my Home Server using MS Windows Home Server (Server 2003 based) without problems.
But over the past few updates, whilst it scans for cache etc, when I then try to clean them I get a Visual C++ Error dialogue box, which then closes CCleaner.
I've wound back on CCleaner updates and it functions correctly at V5.40.
Also tried stand alone install of Visual C++ 2005. No change.
Had no problems on clientPC which run WinXP and Win10
I have been having a similar problem since the last update(5.43.6522). CCleaner works fine in analyzing, cleaning the registry and the other functions I have tried but when I run the cleaner it simply closes down without any error messages . I have uninstalled and installed 5.40.6411 and all is OK. Is a fix going to be made.?
I use Avast on all the clients under a multi-license, but from memory, I've had problems getting any sensible security package to install on WHS (Server 2003 based)

Seems to be an issue with Windows servers based systems and Avast since the April Windows update.
This thead suggests that you will need upgrade to Avast Business Edition on server based systems. (Which you have done with the trial).
Sorry no further clue with CCleaner stopping, (I'm not sure that Piriform do yet either).
As with a few recent problems it's hard to tell if it's CCleaner, Windows Update to 1803, or something else, that is causing it for some but not all users.
I have the problem on my laptop as referenced above but strangely not on my PC which uses the most up to date CCleaner. Both computers were reset at the same time and the content is similar. I will go through my recent software additions to my laptop to see if |II can find the culprit because something is stopping the recent CCleaner from operating. Don't you hate it when the only answer is to roll back to get something to work. i don't like workarounds but i do like ccleaner and would like to take advantage of the newest release.

Later now run the fix recommended in topic below. It works on the latest version. Alll down to conflict with Kaspersky apparently
Well changing "Settings stored in INI file" seems to have stopped it; though I'd call it a Work Around rather than a Fix.
Also, using Avast security package, and it made no difference to the issue whether On, Off, or un-installed before the Work Around.
Thanks for all suggestions, looking forward to next Update, I think.
