CCleaner on WinNT 4.0 SP1?


trodas

Recommended Posts

Guys, I wonder if any of the old versions of CCleaner are capable of running on Windows NT 4.0 with only SP1 installed. Anyone knows...? And where I can find all the old versions of CCleaner, starting from v1 ... thru v2.... :) Etc. You get the idea, right?

Thanks!

 

 

Note 1: For Windows NT4, ME and 98, we recommend CCleaner Version 2.  For 2000 we recommend Version 3.

 

That is what I want to hear. And yes! Older versions, yay! Good. Now we see, if any of them will actually work on WinNT 4.0 SP1 machine. I will report back, maybe it will help someone... :) Thank you very much for the old versions link, mate!

On WinNT 4.0 SP1 it seems to be a problem. Ttrying v2.06.567 it say that Default UI language function not found, so I tried v2.00.475 Beta and it "only" wants a wininet.dll, so maybe there is a chance to get it working...

I know on win98 (virtual machine) I had to use version one.

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

After givin it the wininet.dll it complain, that the function MD5Final is not found in the advapi32.dll ... so I try update this library as well... Looks like Nergal is about right with the version 1 :) I will still try make v2 working... I believe that there is a chance.

 

Next step will be SP3, wPrime need SP3 ... but that is a separate install, because this will be IMHO slower that SP1 for SuperPi/PiFast. Sometimes the difference are only fraction of seconds - P90, SuperPi 1M second place 14:56.479, third place 14:56.960...!

That means I would *KILL* for working Autoruns from Sysinternals on WinNT SP1. Oldest version 8.31 from the v8 family crash and there is nothing between v5.01 (witch is mostly useless) and v8.31 witch crash on WinNT 4.0 SP1 :(

 

See?

Nothing in 2005 till 8.31 from 11.1.2005 :(

 

 

...

 

But all is not lost! I stumbled upon this: http://www.filewatcher.com/_/?q=autoruns

 

And there are FTP links to *MANY* versions of Autoruns.zip and after short search, I managed to find jewels like versions:

Autoruns 8.13

Autoruns 8.11

Autoruns 6.1

 

Sure, more versions around the v7 are missing... but that should do it!

 

 

 

PS:

Hoooray! Version 6.1 of the Autoruns works! http://www.mediafire.com/?e572oi1yxnayup5

 

 

It does complain a bit about unsupported calls, but it works, not crash smile.png So I optimized my WinNT and get 2nd place in SuperPi for P90:

The optimizing shave about 6 sec of the run, witch was enought to jump from 6th place to 2th place biggrin.png

 

...of course, it should be better to get version a bit higher (v8.0? v7.0? ...later v6...?), but that is just a dream smile.png I have to update the hardware rather (faster HDD that 13G old slow Seagate) to get better scores now smile.png

 

 

 

Sadly, CCleaner v2 does not work.Updating the advapi32.dll to higher version cause WinNT 4.0 SP1 fail to start, so I put the old one back and WinNT boot back again... So I have to take a look on older version of CCleaner. Maybe on SP3 it get better?

Well the last version that works on Win98 is v2.36.1233, which I mentioned here with links to download it. I know that's the last version that works with it because it's in my backups for my old Win98 computer. That old version of CCleaner is supposed to work with Win98 up to WinXP!
