TheFiresInTheSky Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 works fine on my other computer but when i get on this one and try to install it, it gets up to the box to select icons and such then i press next and it flashes the installation screen with the green bars for just a second. i look and nothings installed anywhere.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2006 * Make sure the installer isn't named ccleaner.exe, if it is rename it to something else like: ccsetup129.exe * Make sure you already have installed the Microsoft VB Runtime Files, if they are already installed they may be messed up and may need to be reinstalled. * Exit running programs that may interfere.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 thanks! i did name it ccleaner.exe, why doesnt it work when its named that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2006 I don't know why it doesn't work like that other than you can't have the setup file named the same as the main .exe file in the setup file. Funny thing is I remember a long time ago when I started using WinZip Self Extractor it would warn about naming a setup file setup.exe if setup.exe already existed in the .zip file. Of course an easy solution would be for Mr.G to add a comment on the download page about not naming/re-naming the installer ccleaner.exe to avoid this constant reaccuring problem.

Really? I've never heard of this problem before. Why are people renaming it in the first place?

Don't know why it's a problem, however I would image people are renaming the setup file so that they know exactly what it's for. I however keep my downloads very nicely organized such as downloading CCleaner v1.29.295 into: D:\Setups\CCleaner v1.29.295 I do know after using some other peoples computers that they have a jumbled mess and download everything .zip, .exe, .mp3, etc., into one download folder with zero organization - it would drive me crazy.
