V5.18.xxx Cannot be removed


LurkerLS

Recommended Posts

Greetings from the Great Country of TEXAS,

 

Have downloaded several copies of CCSetup519.exe and none will install on my laptop.  Did get a copy to load on my DeskTop just fine.  Even copied that file over to my laptop and it will not even load on here.  Have attempted to just overwrite v5.18 and process only gets about 5% or less and STOPS.

 

Went in to CP/Programs and Features to uninstall v5.18 and it freezes, also from START button to CCleaner selecting Uninstall it freezes, attempted to use C:\Program Files\CCleaner\uninst.exe it also freezes.  Cannot uninstall v56.18 so v5.19 will not INSTALL.

 

Any suggestions?  Short of NOT using CCleaner any longer.

give it a shot with the PC booted in Safe Mode.

also try the Slim or Portable builds.

Backup now & backup often.

Make sure ccleaner is fully exited (monitoring too)

 

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.

does CC with monitoring get started in Safe Mode?

Pi,

Cannot draw your AVATAR, excuse me please?  So many programs that will not run in SM that was not even thought about.  Works just fine, at least for my issue.  V5.19 installed just fine.

 

Now to see if I can do things without crashing my system, that does not happen very often.

You did solve my problem.

good to hear you got it sorted.

yeah, heaps of things won't work in Safe Mode - that's the intent really.

it's for debugging, not for everyday use.

 

before Vista, USB ports wouldn't work in Safe Mode.

some programs won't even uninstall, but eternal thanks to @hazelnut for bringing to my attention a great little program called SafeMSI by Rock Systems & Development that allows that to happen.

 

glad the forum could help.
