digitalchimp Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I recently changed my Google Chrome installation to install via Google Pack so it installs in "Program Files" but now CCleaner does not pick up that Chrome is installed...... Is this a known issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a known issue? I'd like to know this as well, I have the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearNothingProductions Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Strange, my Chrome is listed. I'll do some digging and see what I can find. Of course the pen is mightier than the sword! You know who said that? The guy with the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Where exactly did you install it ? The Chrome entry has two DetectFiles : The AppData one, and %ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalchimp Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Where exactly did you install it ?The Chrome entry has two DetectFiles : The AppData one, and %ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe Yup it's in there C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe ..... but it's not seen. Previously I had the other version installed in AppData but removed that and installed it via google pack... It's on Windows 7 32-Bit.... but I see the same in Windows 7 - 64-bit also...

marmite Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Previously I had the other version installed in AppData but removed that and installed it via google pack ... Is that the differentiating factor? Assuming CCleaner looks for a 'known' application installation location by examining a known app-specific registry key, is this key different for a 'google pack' installation?

Aethec Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The Chrome entry has no DetectKeys, but DetectFiles instead. Theoretically, it should detect Chrome as installed if the %ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe file exists.

alz Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 hi, i just installed CCleaner so am quite new to it Google Chrome doesnt get picked up at all on CCleaner, how do i fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feix Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Same here guys. I've been using CCleaner for 5 years now, but since I installed the final version- even though the older version would have Google Chrome listed in the applications- There is no way I can find Google Chrome. I reinstalled it as well, but no success. Do you think it's this version that has this problem? I use Google Chrome most of all browsers and it's kind of a burden that I have to clean its cookies and history manually.
