Hi,

I think you should warn people this will disrupt Office installation, as it keeps trying to re-install something from original Office disk after running it. ; on 2 of 3 computers I tried; 1 restored by "Restore"; 1 restored from ghost.

too scared to try it agian; the one computer whre it worked OK, it seemed to be good;

Best, randall

this is caused by shellexecut-ing the uninstall string for some installed applications. I had this kind of problems before (probably a msi issue) but i'm currently working on a different uninstaller. it's too difficult to make a good one . Thanks you for the reply

Cheers

mrbond007, the problem randallc is experiencing is because your program deletes the log files present in "<windrive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA" - delete those files manually and randallc's experience will be immediately replicated...

I used to have the same problem with my program DiskMax... All you have to do is ensure that those files are not deleted. There are other programs like Office that behave like this when their log files are deleted: you'll know of them only when an user reports it to you...

A new version soon?

There is a bug at the download page, i can't upload any of my projects and i don't know if this has been fixed or not. All i can do is sit and wait ...

[mrbond007]

Same here. Maybe you can upload it somewhere else like, FileFront?

Another thing, does the new version now clear invalid keys or entries left by uninstalled softwares? I did a quick browse through the registry and i noticed huge amounts of invalid keys or entries left by softwares i uninstalled...even CCleaner did not clean those up

Monitoring traces left by uninstallers is a difficult thing todo at the moment, i'll do some research about it. I think i'll upload a new version as soon as the next version of AutoIt is released.

[mrbond007]

It's possible but it can be dangerous, i'll have to experiment with that method.

Great job. I did get an error when I click cancel after clicking 'clean' after analyzing in the application cleaner. An array error.

And how exactly did you get the cancel buttons to work? What did you do to make them actually abort the task? (I would really rather not go through a few thousand lines of code...)

Probably because the rapidshare server is busy, next time i will upload the file somewhere else.

The code isn't perfect yet. When i call a function for example _Analyze_Traces(), i activate the oneventmode and then i set the cancel action to a certain button

Func _Analyze_Traces()
    Local $Files_In_Total, $Size_In_Total, $Files_In_Section, $Size_In_Section, $RecycleBin_Name, $Str
    For $i = 1 To 85
        $Str &= "="
    Next

    Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1); activate onevent mode
    GUICtrlSetData($Buttons[2], "Cancel"); change the text of the button
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Buttons[2], "_Cancel"); assign cancel function to the button

the scanning/cleaning loops uses while $Break = 0, so when you click on the cancel button, you get $Break =1 and in this case the loop ends and the operation gets canceled.

Will those minor problems affect the system?

Yes if for exmaple you didn't close all open applications like antivirus & firewall before cleaning, i also used beta to compile this script so it may not be that reliable.

No Biggie.. was worth the trouble..
