Remove orphaned MSI/MSP files

Recommended Posts

I noticed that in the latest CC version (v5.02) there's a button "Repair" in the "Un-Install Program" section of CC. (Was it already in a previous CC version ??) I assume that that button uses the "Repair" feature of the "MS Installer" subsystem ?

 

 

That reminded that there's a program that can remove orphaned MS Installer files.

Perhaps the developers of CC are willing & able to see how this program works (contact the author ??) and add this "Remove orphaned MSI files" feature to a next version of CC ?

 

(Perhaps this feature is already included in the "un-install program" section of CC??)

just incase Piriform seriously into this cleanup

might cause more trouble than space gain but i am happy if it is implemented

sometime i use Wincleanup just to see if i'm able to gain free space more than 200mb

less than that, i don't do the cleanup

I need to add that this "Repair" button (as mentioned above) gets highlighted when I choose e.g. MS Word. And I know that MS Word uses the "MS Installer" subsystem/feature to install that program. That's why I made the connection with the program that (supposedly) removes orphaned MSI & MSP installation files.
