Hi everyone!

 

Is there any possibility of using a path read from registry to point to a specific directory?

Here is an example of what I have in mind:

[RandomApp*]
LangSecRef=3023
Detect=HKCU\Software\RandomApp
Default=False
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\RandomApp\InstallPath
FileKey1=%RegKey1%\logs|*.*

 

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I do not think that's possible, since the RegKey command is just for deletions.

 

That's an interesting concept though, if there were a command like

 

FilePath1=HKCU\Software\RandomApp\InstallPath

 

then set a variable for it, and let us use it like

 

FileKey1=%FilePath1%\Logs|*.*

 

Much like you said.

 

I never really thought about that, but it's definitely an excellent idea.

might need to split this up in multiple entries. The CBS logs are already cleaned. and I don't think the .log's in system32/config should be tampered with.

These are what it would clean for me http://pastebin.com/r8t9qA5K

then you shouldn't be using chrome ;)

 

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.

I looked at this entry closer and I see no such folder in my windows folder including when looking for a hidden or protected folder. What version of Windows was this tested on?. Just one thing also are you positive this is for the . NET Framework as that name for a temp folder could be for a lot of uses?

 

I also think it would be helpful if when we create new links if is at all possible for a program find the appropriate registry key instead searching the hard drive. It also helps if your aiming your cleaning at a specific version as sometimes programs do store version nunbers in the registry as well. CCleaner has no way to get this off the .exe

I found an forum on Microsoft recommending this cache can be deleted. It apparently can also be disabled in a system policy. Here are two articles describing the cleaning both say under NO circumstances should you attempt to clean the Installer directory!! Only the Patch Cache. I also verified that this did not cause any issues with updating and new folders are recreated by the Windows Installer. I saved over a 1 GB by clearing this folder.

Im using Windows XP Professional 32bit, im not very sure but google says me so, that this is about .NET FrameWork folder. The registry case is better one i know but, unfortunately i dont know much about registry and do not want to touch it, so i have to leave it to you

This statement makes me a bit apprehensive as to whether $PatchCache$ should be removed.

You may also delete the Windows Installer baseline cache. These files are useful to help eliminate prompts for source when uninstalling patches, and even sometimes when installing certain types of patches. By deleting these files, if you are prompted for source you may need to insert your original installation media, or download and extract previously downloaded installations.

 

If it does get added to WinApp2.ini, a warning message should be included in the code.
