Registration window prevents use of /AUTO

[infias]

I'm trying to schedule the cleaning using the /AUTO flag on an unregistered copy, but the registration window pop-up prevents that.

Unless you purchased CCleaner (and even then I believe) there is no registration window. From where did you obtain CCleaner?

[infias]

I'm using the one from this site. I did not purchase it though, and the pop-up happens all of the time which negates the usage of the /AUTO flag, because it won't run until you cancel the window.

there should be no registration pop up, ccleaner is absolutely not nagware.

uninstall ccleaner

remove ccleaner entries from registry

re-download the latest version

reboot computer

reinstall ccleaner

if still presented with nag please screenshot and post to this thread

That is not true.

This forum site and the download site are related but totally different, as shown below by PING

Alan, come on, stop confusing the poster. They OBVIOUSLY mean that they got it from Piriform's site.

 

 

I cannot recreate this issue

I accept that was the meaning.

Unfortunately there are times when a Google result will lead the innocent to a site that PRETENDS to supply CCleaner.exe,

There have been several such instances in recent months.

 

It is unfortunate but the rules/syntax are confusing to the innocent - and also to myself,

and "forum.piriform.com" looks related to "piriform.com" but the content is quite different,

and comes from a different site under different ownership on a different part of the internet ( 6 mSec difference ).
