Xero Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 CCleaner removed my IE7 Uninstall entry, therefore making me unable to remove IE7, causing catastrophic problems. I used System Restore which got my system back to normal, but want to warn members and the makers of CCleaner. Please come up with a new version that does not delete uninstall entries, or advise how to make CCleaner not delete uninstall entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest version, 1.28.277, should no longer have this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted April 17, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yep this should be fixed in the latest release. Also we had a warning posted about this exact issue. http://forum.ccleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=3951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks for that info! I think I was using 1.27, so it was probably my fault for not reading up on it. Is it safe to check every box now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there have been no complaints about the new version. You may want to do a System Restore check point or a registry backup first just in case.

Also we had a warning posted about this exact issue. http://forum.ccleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=3951 No rridgely. The ie7 unistaller IS a hotfix uninstaller. Therefore, CCleaner will remove it. MrG fixed the $hf_mig$ folder being removed. Do not use the hotfix uninstaller option if you're using IE7. As far as I know, there have been no complaints about the new version. You may want to do a System Restore check point or a registry backup first just in case. Yep. Back it up. Because you'll be in for a can of worms if you don't.

AndyManchesta Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hi Joiner (Brian) , I only checked the IE7 problem after reading your email so Im glad its easy to repair by just replacing the folder and will leave the link on until its fixed incase its needed again. All The Best Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rochip Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 haha...yeah, like you! TantrumBoy makes an unexpected and unwelcome return appearance! I just thought that accidently deleting my XP partition, reformatting my hard drive, reinstalling XP, and downloading over 50 updates including SP2 on dialup over two sleepless days and nights would be just as easy as using Andy's application ! I guess there's just the tiniest possibility I was wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyManchesta Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi Elf Do you have more than one account on your system and are you running from the Admin' account ? Does it display the message after you type the uninstall command into the Run area or at another stage of the uninstall ? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPS93 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Thank You, Andy for the IE7 B2 unistall file. Your effort is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyManchesta Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 No Problem I did actually remove the file as I didnt want people with IE Beta3 using it by mistake, when I signed into my email last night there was 6 emails from different people asking where the files are and if I can upload them again. They were only removed for about 8 hours so it shows its effecting alot of people. The files will stay up now until the new version of Ccleaner is released as that should hopefully fix the beta uninstall issue Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyManchesta Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hi PS3 Try this tip from the IE7 release notes http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/releasenotes/default.aspx Internet Explorer 7 Fails to Install from Specified User Account -- If you see an error message saying you cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 7 from this user account, and you're sure it's the account you used to install, or the original installation account has been removed, you can bypass the check by: Click 'Run" and type 'regedit' from the Start menu Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft]InternetExplorer Right click the 'Internet Explorer' key, choose 'new', and then 'DWORD value' Enter 'InstalledByUser' as the name and hit 'Enter' to finish creating the new register key Retry uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
