  How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files

  Hello

  If you have duplicates in Windows Media Player library, you can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps you to solve the problem.

  Step 1:

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Step 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Note: Before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

  If this is not enough and you want to remove duplicate files there are third-party application to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks twice in Windows.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• It is safe to delete the files under C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

  My C drive is full and I went through the cleaning process several times.  I noticed that all the files day added on drive C under C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download.  Can I safely delete these files?  They add up to 100 to 200 MB per day.

  Hello

  The "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" folder is where the updates are stored.

  There are views mixed in all areas on the deletion of this file, but my opinion is that if you stop the automatic updates, delete the folder and then restart automatic updates who works and who has worked several times before for me.

  Hi again,

  You can still install, make sure just that take care you of your images, and your personal files and then go for the installation of Windows 10, 64-bit.

  All you need to do to re-setup is to download the Adobe Creative cloud application and then you can install LR and PS since the Application itself.

  No need to pay again, it will recognize your id and password and allow you to download the applications that you are already a member of the subscription.

• Defrag results found 110 GB of files fragmented 149 GB of capacity - if I delete these files?

  The documents and Settings\user\application data\yahoo\companion\crash newspapers

• How do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list?

  Windows Installer Cleanup of

  * original title - how do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list? I don't want to uninstall or remove a program that I always use currently__ *.

  Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 (MS Office only - replaced by the 'Fix It' utility)
  (Note: the Windows CleanUp utility has been replaced by the "Fit It":http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ )

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
  It was created to correct software installations that failed during the installation process and leaving a bunch of files (including a file name that ends with an extension .msi (= MicroSoft Installer .msi). For example an installation failed MS Office (note I said "failed").
  See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011185721033.aspx

  Also if when you installed MS Office you decided at the time you had no need of Power Point and chose not to install it. You find out later you need to make a Power Point presentation, insert the Office CD and try installing PowerPoint and it causes an error.

  The tool using Windows Installer Cleanup will remove damaged installation files (located in C:\Windows\Installer). You then install Office and Power Point, once more, as they are not more present in the list of programs in the Add/Remove Control Panel. But at least this time Office and Power Point will install without errors as the Windows Installer Cleanup utility did what it was designed to do.

  The unfortunate side effect of the cleanup tool is when you select and delete software that works correctly you then will no longer be able to install this software because it is no longer in the Add/Remove Programs list.

  Now as to why there is so many files in the C:\Windows\Installer:
  You will find lots of them. MSI files belong to software such as Java, Microsoft .NET Framework software AV, Norton Ghost, file downloaded during a Windows Update session and so on. It would seem that some software will clean up after itself and deletions, this is the file that were in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. Windows Update failure will create and leave the folders and files behind every time that you try to install the update and so you could end up with a large number of files taking up disk space.

  It could also be a lot of files (is most needed) orphans.
  If you still have the original Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and then by using the msizap (msizap g!) command removes all cached Windows Installer data files that have been orphaned.

• How can I fix problems created with Windows Installer Cleanup?

  I had some problems installing a software on my Windows XP and had to run the software Windows Installer Cleanup before the program installs. I was stupid and didn't choose carefully what programs should perform the Windows Installer Cleanup. So now my automatic updates for my XP will not be installed.

  Here is the message I get when trying to install the automatic updates:

  Initializing installation... done!
  Install the update of security Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (KB974417) (update 1 of 1)...

  Here is the result:

  Some updates not can be installed.
  The following updates have not can be installed:
  A security update Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (KB974417)

  This is the only notification I receive the updates failed. I think it's because the link to the installer of windows has been removed by the software Windows Installer Cleanup.

  How can I correct this situation?

  Kind regards

  Red Cloud

  Red Cloud,
  If you look at the history of the update, which is the error code for the update failed?  Go through the steps of KB923100 and post back with the results.

• Problem with the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  I'm having a problem installing of a particular program, and told me to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.

  I downloaded msicuu2.exe and when I ran, got a Windows Script Host window:

  Script: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000. TMP\StartMsi.vbs
  Online: 17
  Char: 1
  Error: Permission denied
  Code: 800A 0046
  Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

  What that tells me, and what I (think I) do?

  Hi Ernest,

  Try to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility as administrator and check if that helps.

  To run as administrator

  1. right click on the .exe file

  2. Select run as administrator

  Check if it works fine without any error message.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Windows Installer Cleanup Utility cannot run because corrupt Microsoft installation Service

  I can't get the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility to run, I get an error message "the Microsoft Installer could not access the Service."  I tried re-registration of the service nothing is done.  I work on a customer's computer and can not get KB2467173 or Windows Live Essentials update, so I am unable to run internet explore in the standard 32-bit functionality.

  I would avoid reinstalling Windows if possible.

  Note: Windows Installer Cleanup utility is no longer supported and is not available via a Microsoft page.

  Comment: If your client is in the habit of running "Registry cleaners", a clean installation of Windows will be your only recourse.

• Windows Installer CleanUp utility has messed my windows?

  I ran an installer which provides a plug-in, PluginA, for the program "ArcMap.exe. Later, I tried to remove this program, but it did not work. The problem seems to be a bug in the plugin installer.

  I browsed the Internet and found the "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2" tool which I installed it.

  I ran this utility and managed to remove the plug-in.

  However I noticed that when I started Outlook, it had to be configured each time :-(.

  So I uninstalled the utility.

  Then, I installed a plug-in for the program "ArcMap.exe", PluginB. This program installation, I know to be bug free.

  However when I run ArcMap.exe it displays "Please wait while Windows configures PluginB" and this process never ends.

  I tried to uninstall PluginB and it works, but I need to have installed PluginB.

  Also, I always have the problem with the installer of windows running everytime I open Outlook.

  It seems to me that "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2" screwed up my installation of Windows.

  How can I fix it? Unfortunately I was not wise enough to have any system restore points useful.

  Thanks in advance for answers!

  Microsoft had removed and abandoned the Windows Installer Cleanup utility several years ago.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any breach of integrity

  Restart your system
