WinXP Pro SP3
VLC Media Player 1.1.4
CCleaner 2.36.1233
I have VLC installed to "C:\Program Files\VLC". VLC Media Player does not appear anywhere in CCleaner.
CC v2.36 searches in the folder %Programfiles%\videolan\vlc for the program vlc.exe. (In Windows XP %programfiles% is translated to C:\Programfiles\). When found then an extra box called VLC Media Player shows up.
1. Did you install VLC in the folder the VLC install program proposed ? If so, then It's likely that the Piriform folks made a mistake in the embedded script that tells CC where and what to wipe.
2. Is VLC 1.14 the latest version ?
Just checked and the CCleaner location is the correct default install location
inorder for your install to clean please place the following in your personal winapp2.ini
