v2.01.507 Listing Applications Twice

CCleaner for Windows
1

Having installed v2.01.507, nearly all the applications listed on the Cleaner - Applications tab are listed twice. The only exceptions are Adobe Reader under the Applications list and Adobe Flash Player and Macromedia Flash Player under the Multimedia list.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled CCleaner with no effect.

Is this a known bug that is waiting to be fixed?

Has anybody else seen this issue?

Come on guys, give us a break here.

207 views and nobody has bothered to comment whether or not they have also seen this issue.

So all you other users, when you look at the applications tab in the scan part of the program do you see your applications listed twice.

Obviously if everybody does then it's going to be a bug.

If it's just me, it suggests it's PC specific and I would appreciate guidanve from any of the 'techies' about what may be causing the multiple listing of applications.

Thanks for your help.

You probably didn't get a reply because the problem "could be system specific, or nobody has an answer or solution." I don't ever remember anyone in the past mention applications being listed twice and have no idea myself why it would happen.

The thing I'd try is a clean install:

  1. Uninstall CCleaner, then make sure there's no installed files left-over in:

    C:\Program Files\CCleaner

  2. Make sure CCleaner registry settings are deleted from:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner

  3. Reboot (even if it seems redundant).
  4. Install CCleaner. And hopefully it doesn't double list your apps again.

It may not be a bug.

All i do if something is wrong is uninstall and reinstall and all is good.

:D:D

Andavari,

I followed your suggested course of action and this has resolved the problem.

There was a winapp.ini file that remained in the C:\Program Files\CCleaner folder, which I believe must have been the cause of the issue.

Although I deleted the registry settings, I have since reimported them (to reinstate my protected cookies) and all appears well.

Many thanks for your help.
