Moderators DennisD Posted March 25, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2009 If you have Google Chrome, it should be picked up as it's in CCleaners embedded ini file. Using CCleaner 2.17.853. Embedded ini file here, if you want to check it out. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=129557 Edit: Welcome to the forum by the way.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 25, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2009 Not really I have the same exact problem. I just downloaded the latest version today 25 March 2009. The problem is the program doesn't see Chrome at all. This is why I provided the screenshot. I don't use Chrome, so I installed the latest version today just to check this out, and CCleaner picked it up immediately. Using latest CCleaner with XP SP3.

josephblie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The fact is it doesn't find it at all. I have XP SP2. I even tried reinstalling crome and that didn't help either.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 25, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2009 How do you solve this one? CCleaner is hard wired to find Google Chrome, as you can see from this screenshot of the ini file embedded in CCleaner. All I can suggest is to check out the ini screenshot, and see if the temp file locations are different in yours. I know from experience recently with I think it was Opera, the location of temp files depended upon where you downloaded it from. The developers can make subtle changes like this mid version without making a mention of it. In this case, the pictures don't lie. There is something fundamentally different somewhere along the line causing yours and some others CCleaners to not pick up Google Chrome. Maybe the CCleaner or Chrome installs are different. Is CCleaner or Chrome installed for all users on your PC? Check out the ini file, and see if anything in there can give you a clue. Everything is working perfectly on my PC, so I can't replicate the problem to search out an answer. The developers read these posts, so maybe something could be forthcoming from one of them, as there obviously is a problem with some PC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephblie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I did install for all users my chrome is installed here; "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application" It must be a problem as I'm not the only one with it. Anyhow where can I see my INI file and or change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted March 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2009 Just for information, the ini file I posted you won't find, as it's the information "embedded" into the CCleaner file itself. A copy of the embedded ini is available for people to check out which applications are included in it. Available here: (Latest Version) There's also a winapp2.ini file which contains applications suggested/provided by users. This is an actual file you can download, and place in CCleaners Program Files folder. Entries in the winapp2.ini, can be included in the embeded information of a future release. winapp2.ini here: List of included applications available here: Hope that helps.

Icedrake Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Speaking of Google Chrome, is there any way to get SRWare Iron web browser included in that list of available applications? SRWare Iron is a version of Chromium. Here's the link: http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
