Multiple EXEs in Portable Zip Archive?


SarahofGaia

Recommended Posts

I downloaded the portable zip archive, and when I extracted it, I saw there were four EXEs:

  • Defraggler.exe
  • Defraggler64.exe
  • df.exe
  • df64.exe

I just want to use the portable version of Defraggler. Why are there four different variants, what are the differences between them, and which do I use?

Thanks.

Df and df64 are command line (old school dos prompt)

To just run defraggler run defraggler.exe it will forward you to defraggler64 (behind the scenes, you won't have to so anything) if you have a 64 bit machine

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)

I know what command line is. Haha. Thanks, though! ;)

 

As for the latter point, what if I run defraggler.exe on a 32b machine?

It will run defraggler.exe and won't forward to the 64 :)

I just deleted the df.exe, df64.exe, and defraggler64.exe files, so that only the defraggler.exe file remains. (They're in the Recycle Bin, so I can restore them if needed.)

 

Will I still be able to use Defraggler on both 32b and 64b machines?

I'm not sure but I don't think it'll run without the similar-bitrate command-line exe

If it runs with them in a separate folder, then it'll run with them deleted. That's how I test things.

If you put them in a separate sub-folder, as you said in reply #7, and it ran with no issues, then deleting them should be fine.
