MrRoboto Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi All, I've searched this forum and the google for a solution but nothing has worked so far. I've edited my settings.ini to detect portable versions of FireFox, ThunderBird and Opera which seem to work find but Google Chrome is not showing up on the list. Has something changed recently? This is the code I'm using : CustomLocation1=CHROME|C:\PortableApps\GoogleChrome\Data\profile\Default From I've researched, it should work like all the rest as long as the path includes the "profile" directory Looking at the changelog, support was added to v2.35.1219 on 25 Aug 2010 Sorry if this has asked before or I missed something during my research. Let me know if you need any other info, thanks! EDIT : Sorry, I think I might need to be running V24 of Portable Chrome for this to work. Can someone confirm?

nodles Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) There's no "settings.ini" in CCleaner, did you mean "ccleaner.ini"? I don't have portable Chrome currently on my USB, but this portable Firefox entry works: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|J:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile I've had this for my portable Chrome: CustomLocation6=CHROME|J:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\Data\profile\Default Edited March 27, 2013 by nodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 There's no "settings.ini" in CCleaner, did you mean "ccleaner.ini"? Yeah, that is correct. Sorry about that. I don't have portable Chrome currently on my USB, but this portable Firefox entry works: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|J:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile I've had this for my portable Chrome: CustomLocation6=CHROME|J:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\Data\profile\Default Interesting, something must have changed in recent versions of Chrome (the portable version at least) I do see that the changelog shows v24 support so I might limited to using that version. v3.27.1900 (24 Jan 2013) - Added cleaning for Internet Explorer Metro Cache.- Added cleaning for Internet Explorer Metro History. - Added Google Chrome v24 support. The problem is when I try to install it, I get the following error : The downloaded copy of Google Chrome (Stable) is not valid and can not be installed. Please try installing again. I even tried putting http://dl.google.com...e_installer.exe next to the portable installer and even in the temp directory it creates but no go. I appreciate your help. Looks like it will be click & clean for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use this ALONG with custom location (which will inform the "SpecialKey1" lines where to look,and you can clean chrome) also some of those may be extendables (and not in the usual ccleaner, I tried to go through and get them out but may have missed one) Edited March 27, 2013 by Nergal 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.

KapnJackSparrow Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It seems this post has evolved by the time I finally got my account working. I also had this problem as well, in my case it's also broken for Iron which makes sense since if the custom location is broken. at first I thought it was the path but after having messed around with it for a bit I found it was indeed the custom location that was the problem. I sent in an email describing the problem which has been "passed on to the 2nd Line support team for further investigation" so hopefully they will get around to fixing this soon. In the mean time thanks Nergal I will add those entries in my personal winapp2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Hi Everyone! and @Nergal... On 28/03/2013 at 00:27, Nergal said: chrome portable custom location is broken, I had to make GCP entries in my personal winapp2 [...] .... nine years later here we are! I am running CCleaner 6.08.1255 64-bit portable setup (no installer) in Windows 10. About the browsers, there are Internet Explorer, Firefox, Brave as regular installations. But both Chrome (one) and Opera portable (multiple) installations are present on my PC. Running a 'Custom Clean' with default setup did not detect any Chrome or Opera files. Opera portable is up-to-date 94.0.4606.38. So I edited the .ini file with the following: CustomLocation1=OPERA|C:\Opera 51 Portable - Clean No Addons\profile\data CustomLocation2=OPERA|C:\Opera 20 Portable\profile\data etc.... CustomLocation4=CHROME|C:\--Portable 10\Chrome Portable 108\GoogleChromePortable\Data\profile\Default Then I saved the ccleaner.ini and relaunched CCleaner. I can confirm the Opera and Chrome portable installations are regularly detected :) Thank you! :) Fanny Edited January 18, 2023 by Fanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
