• Windows Install CleanUp Utility

  I would like to have a clarification on the Cleanup utility.
  At the very beginning of the article, there is a caveat:

  Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp utility is provided "as what" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is recommended.

  The "you may have to reinstall other programs" worries me.
  1. that means "perhaps"?
  2. How will I know what programs I need to reinstall?
  It seems to be a risky business. Is it not?
  Jumping from fire to the Pan?

  t-4-2

  According to my experience with the program, it is best to use only if:
  1. you cannot uninstall the program using "normal means" (uninstaller comes up with an error, crashes, crashes).
  2. you can not install the program because Windows Installer says it's already installed, or another error has occurred.

  I think that programs delete certain registry entries (as in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer) that are associated with the application that you are deleting. From my experience, it never broke anything with other programs. Note that the registry entries and files created by the application are not removed by "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" (only the information that the program is installed).
  We can assume that this problem may occur if A program is removed using "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" and Installer (UN) B of the program somehow call program a Setup program.
  Say, you have a Bluetooth software which contains the drivers and applications that are installed by using Windows Installer technology. You remove the drivers by using "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" and then try to delete the application. The uninstall application program wants to first remove the drivers so she calls the Windows Installer to do this. But the Windows Installer engine is unable to do so because the 'Bluetooth' driver is no longer listed as an installed product. Thus, it returns an error to the uninstall of the application... which can also return an error.

• Windows Install Cleanup Tool error when you try to install it on Windows Vista Business

  After a failed installation of Adobe CS 4 on my Windows Vista Business 32-bit system, I am now unable to update or uninstall anything Adobe on my PC. I had read several forums, Adobe specifically, when users suggested to install and use the Windows Installer Clean up tool.  I have successfully used this app in the past with Windows XP, but when I try to install on my Vista box cleaning tool I am immediately presented with the error:

  Windows Script Host: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

  Does anyone know a solution for this?  I tried hunting one down a few months ago, but could not find something that solved this problem.  Or are the users of Vista GROUND just when it comes to this cleanup tool? I want desperately to remove/repair my Adobe products (which work, but cannot be updated) without the need to make a nuclear weapon and to open and lose time reloading of each piece of software, to restore the profiles of boards, etc...

  Hello NMITGuy,

  You can view the following information about the error: there is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

• Utility Windows Install CleanUp

  I have recently installed Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.  I read that the warnings on the MS download page on some applications have to be reinstalled.  Elsewhere on the download page of this application is marketed as aclean tool that removes just wandering or oprphaned install files install form incomplete or broken.  I would like to clean up and remove any unnecessary or corrupted files to try to get my computer to recover his speed, but when I open this utility and it scans all installed applications, and returns the list, he warns that some or all applications will need to be reinstalled.  Is - this utility not clean up stray or incomplete installation files without affecting the application installed with Windows Installer?  I don't really have the resources for many applications to reinstall them, if there is a high risk of corrupting applications until point duty reinstall maybe I should just remove the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and forget the orphans to install files that may be present...

  Any advice?

  I don't think that the Windows Installer CleanUp utility is the right tool for you.  It is intended to clean up after installation (or uninstallation) installation failure error messages or interferes with the installation of other programs.   It completely removes a program, requiring you to reinstall in order to use the program.

  Revo Uninstaller may be able to do what you want.

  Just have the unnecessary files on the disc won't slow down your computer, unless it is critical to running out of disk space.  Find out what programs run automatically at startup and disable or remove those that are not necessary. Boulder computer Maven

• A Windows 7 Install Cleanup Utility exist?

  I want to clean the last attempts to install Itunes before I try again.  It seems that there finally is a 64-bit version of Itunes available and I know that previous attempts have probably left the residue of software from my previous attempts, so I would delete these files, then try again.

• File of Windows Install CleanUp

  I currently have 30.4 gig of garbage too much space on my C drive in my Windows/Installer program.  I am less then 2% free space.  I have downloaded and run the Windows Installer CleanUp utility only yesterday and who cleared 2gig (I was almost 33 concert in this file to start).  Run this utility has also deleted the software that I use the most on my pc (Sony eReader, iPhone and iTunes and all programs and Microsoft Office 2003!).  I was not able to install SP3 for XP, and I can't run a defragmentation because there is not enough space.  How can I get rid of the junk that has been implemented there (unknown to me until I saw this hidden file) since 2005?  Please help someone.  Thank you.

  Note that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is a third party software, NOT Microsoft. And Microsoft will NOT take any responsibility for this software, because it is not Microsoft software. You could try running Disk Cleanup, it of a free tool inside Windows and could remove unnecessary files and also try to check Add/Remove programs and uninstall prograns that you don't want.

• package Windows install

  I tried to download quick time and whenever I get an error message come up like this

  There is a problem with this windows package install. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your provider to support personal or package.

  Help, please!

  coolbabe843,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  There are several possibilities for this kind of error.

  Try to run the Windows installed Cleanup utility first, which you can download here:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  If that does not resolve the problem, try to run the System File Checker:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  If this does not work, you will need to contact the Apple support since QuickTime is a program from Apple and they would need to tell you what are the system requirements are for their software.

  Let us know if we can provide additional assistance.

• Unable to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  My problem is that I can't run the Windows Install Cleanup Utility (WICU). I'm wanting to run what I install iTunes. I get an error that I don't have permissions to change the text. I can't uninstall the program as well because of this permissions error. I am the administrator and the only user of my laptop.

  I also received the error that the program is not associated with file associations. Honestly I don't know what to do.

  Thanks for the reply.

• Reduce the size of the folder Windows/install in Windows 7

  I found many messages touting the benefits of a utility that MS formerly offered to reduce the size of the folder Windows/Installer for earlier versions of Windows called MSIZAP.exe.  Of course, this is not recommended and has been replaced by a FixIt.

  My main drive has grown to use 60 GB!  I install most everything I am able to install it on other players.  On the 60 GB, the Windows folder using 23.6 GB.
  I have already reduced the Windows/winsxs folder to 10.6 GB 6.1 GB with the MARIKEL utility.
  How am I able to reduce the folder Windows/Installer of her current 7.33 GB size?  This file consumes almost 1/3 of the already massive amount of the Windows folder?
  Thanks in advance!
  Hello

  The Installer folder may be located in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. (Folder install is a hidden folder).

  We can delete the files in the folder, but they will be required when you try to uninstall some programs that installed with Windows Installer. So after you delete these files, we will need to reinstall or repair a related program if they cannot be uninstalled with error "needs to uninstall previous installation".

  However, instead of delete the folder of Windows install, I should delete you them using Disk Cleanup.

  In addition, reducing the space for the restoration of the system.

  Reference:
  How much space does System Restore disk requires?

  WARNING: If you reduce the disk space to be smaller than the space that is currently used by the system of protection, older restore points, including previous versions of files, will be deleted.

• Unable to get updates of Windows after cleaning installed.

  Inspiron 1720, Win7 Ultimate x 64

  A clean installed today on a separate partition. Did not remove the existing installation of the same operating system by using the same key. The new facility will not download updates. C:\ shows many files from Windows.old. No matter what jump to anyone or is this Win10 Win10?

  PS This switch to Win7 Professional would help the situation?

  I should add that it is a slipstreamed SP1 version. I was able to get IE 11 installed without problem.

  Theres been a few problems with Windows Update with Windows 7 clean install for these last months... You can use the WSUS Offline Update Patch Windows 7, after that Windows Update works.

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/WSUS-offline-update/

  However since your goal is to make your system a Pro 10 Windows device. You better just download an .iso Windows 10 TH2 and pure install directly with your Windows 7 Ultimate product key:

• HP Envy TS m7 Ntbk E0K99UA #ABL: HP Envy laptop Windows 10, clean install and reinstall applications preinstalled

  Hello

  8.1 Windows, I've just updated my HP Envy laptop to Windows 10. I now have a Windows 10 product key (that I found using the Microsoft tool productkey. The update went well. All the drivers have worked. The question isn't here.

  I have to do a clean reinstall of the laptop. Too much shit...

  I know how Windows 10, but I don't know how I'll be able to reinstall the app pre-loaded, he came with the laptop.

  Firstly, Windows 10 kind of RecoveryMgr blocked... I just can't access more...

  If I boot with the drive D or the backup media, I created, I'm only given the opportunity to reinstall completely (but, of course, for Windows 8).

  Two questions:

  1. from the D drive or my backup media, is there a way to separately select application to install? (Everything seems compressed and it allows me to start the installation of each software program.

  2-if I reinstall Windows 8 using backup media, I created (or d reader app), I'll have my own installation... but I'll be able to re-update to Windows 10? (remember, I now have a product key...).

  Thank you.

  Sébastien

  Your best option would be to use the recovery media to reinstall the original OS. Since you have an activation key of license for the original operating system meets the requirement to update Windows 10.

  Once you have done this, you can use the key to creation of Windows Media to create a bootable installation flash drive or to proceed directly to Windows 10.

  Windows 10 installation as an upgrade has the advantage of you to have the applications installed at the origin of the original OS present and ready to use in your new installation of Windows 10.

  Otherwise with a clean install of Windows 10, the HP Recovery Manager wil do not exist, or you can install it separately.
