Moderators hazelnut Posted December 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2012 Anyone ever used this? I can think of loads of times when I could have done with it. http://www.technibble.com/safemsi-exe-start-windows-installer-service-in-safe-mode/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted December 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2012 Problem is some uninstallers will put up a big fuss when trying to remove them in safe mode if they're MSI based, usually with words like "System Damage, System Corruption", etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted December 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2012 great find. i'll be trying it out the next time i have to remove crapware in safe mode. as you say hazelnut, i had plenty of times when it would have come in very handy, hope it works as good in practice as it sounds...

Moderators mta Posted December 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2012 just a bit of feedback. had my first chance today to use SafeMSI and it worked !. i tried removing some crap, and as usual, Windows said 'no, not in safe mode', so thinking all SafeMSI did was start the Installer service, I manually tried to start it. again, Windows said 'no, can't be done in safe mode' ran SafeMSI, it stated it had started the service, i tried the uninstall again, and all good. nice little program. it's been added to my little toolbox of goodies for other such ocassions.

Moderators mta Posted December 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2012 Nice hat, mta. i felt like getting in the mood of the season, having just done the house and put up the tree. plus, there was all the peer group pressure, seemed i might as well join in.

Willy2 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 - I have a pretty good idea what "trick" this program "has up its sleeve". Tweaking's Windows Repair employs the same kind of trick to make it possible to run some repairs in Safe Mode.
