Violator Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 CCleaner has a bug in its module making it wipe %systemroot%\Installer folder even if cleaning of it isn't selected. Its PITA to get that folder deleted on Windows 7 x64 Pro, since every darn update for .net, vb, c++ etc. fails! Can't even install Visual Studio after CCleaner did its crap. Sorry if I sound a bit mad, but it is a shame that such a nice tool has such bug. I wonder if no one else hasn't reported this yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindowsStar Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have seen the %systemroot%\Installer folder emptied on a computer before and if it does get emptied you will run into many problems. This folder should not be cleaned. Unless you are 100% positive the software has been removed from your computer. I was not aware CCleaner cleaned this folder but if it does and removes software that is still installed you will run into problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violator Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Seems selecting IIS cleanup on previous versions triggered it, at least I can't replicate it with CC 2.27.1070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
