Winapp2.ini additions


Winapp2.ini

Recommended Posts

The only comments I have about combing entries are that I know some would prefer to keep the Malwarebytes Separate so they don't have to clean the Quarantine area(which is what the default CCleaner entry does) I think combining them makes sense to me as the list is growing ever longer. Perhaps use the Warning tag to list out what is being cleaned the combined entries so its more apparent what they will be removing. Just my two cents.

 

I see nothing wrong/objectionable concerning the proposed MBAM combination. It is the built-in [Malwarebytes Anti Malware] that deletes quarantined items.

They still are seperate? Winapp2.ini MBAM enty/entries don't clean quarantine. I didn't combine CCleaner default + Winapp2.ini entries, just Winapp2.ini entries.

Cleaning the Adobe Reader Setup Files is not a good entry. By removing these files you also prevent installing updates as well as doing a repair installation. The default installer for adobe reader attempts to do an update only and therefore looks for those files. I suggest removing the entry as its a pain if you would have to remove Adobe in order to update it.

I can confirm this behaviour for the latest update (10.1.3). It's ridiculous that also the full installer wants those files and refuses the installation without them. What was Adobe thinking?!

The installation of the prior update worked flawless, so this problem couldn't have been foreseen.

it's because they use .msp (Microsoft patch installer) for upgrades, less temp files, less update time, less likely to require computer restart, easier for self-installer network managers, easier for patch management software (domain or third. party). need I continue?

 

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.

Right, for the update only file (AdbeRdrUpd1013.msp) this is ok. But also the full installer file (AdbeRdr1013_xx_XX.exe) refuses the update even though it includes all the necessary files - and that is ridiculous.

Another reason perhaps to use an alternative PDF reading/viewing sofware.

Please add this .... and I can't remember what the C:\D&S\username\Local Settings\Application data\ should be shortened to for all OSes.

Firstly, we don't need the web address spammed in the entry. Secondly, that entry will only work for you (and anyone else called Charles)

 

This would be the correctly formatted version, I can't test whether it is a good cleaning routine or not though.

This should work better. and if you recall I said I wasn't sure what the local application data should be so it matches all OS possibilities. So there is no need to get after me either.

I think it is good to run Trim-12.bat before submitting proposed additions to Winapp2.ini to be warned of any "BAD DETECTION" etc

I agree with your comment.

I suggest that it would be better to use :-

I recall this being removed because it messes with flash games, flash cookies, logins, etc.

OK, thanks! I could try it out and see what happens. :D
