Ccleaner doesn't see Chrome at all

[develish1]

Hi,

 

hope someone can offer some advice here. I haven't used my laptop for a little while, but today I turned it on and updated to the latest version of Ccleaner (v 2.36.1233)straight away. The problem I have is that it seems to think I don't have Chrome installed. It's not listed for cleaning, nor does it appear in the listed applications on the tools page either, despite the fact that I downloaded the update using Chrome as that's my main browser.

 

This basically means that for the moment Ccleaner is totally ignoring my main browser when I run it. So, any ideas anyone?

Oh, I'm running Vista Home Premium, SP1, on a 32 bit OS with 2.00 GB RAM, and Chrome 6.0.472.63

Did you install chrome to the default location?

 

the following are all the locations ccleaner searches for google chrome and based browsers

DetectFile=%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
DetectFile2=%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
DetectFile3=%localappdata%\Flock\Application\flock.exe
DetectFile4=%ProgramFiles%\Flock\Application\flock.exe
DetectFile5=%localappdata%\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe
DetectFile6=%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe
DetectFile7=%localappdata%\SRWare Iron\iron.exe
DetectFile8=%ProgramFiles%\SRWare Iron\iron.exe
DetectFile9=%ProgramFiles%\Chromium\chrome.exe
DetectFile10=%localappdata%\Chromium\chrome.exe

 

if this not is not the location where it is installed you will either need to reinstall google chrome or use a custom location (http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/ccleaner-ini-files/how-to-clean-user-data-from-non-standard-mozilla-browsers) replace the word FIREFOX with CHROME e.g.

CustomLocation1=CHROME|C:\Chromium\IronPortable\Profile\Default

yes it was definitely installed to the default settings, everything is on this laptop since I'm not knowledgable enough to mess with things too much, plus it's a shared one. I just checked and the file location is shown as a\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

 

I guess that's where it's always been as that hasn't been updated or changed in any way. Ccleaner has never had a problem finding it in the past, this has only happened since I did the update earlier, it worked fine before. Odd huh?

update -

 

tried completely removing Ccleaner ans reinstalling from scratch, and it now can see Chrome, not sure why it couldn't before but it seems ok now. Will update if I have any more issues.
