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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • Folder of Windows/Install Clean or update install Cleanup Utility

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition and my folder C:/Windows/Installer is 21 GB.  I googled how to clean safely this folder but all answers point to Installer Cleanup Utility.  I found this note on the site which provided the program download "Windows Installer Cleanup (MSICUU2.exe) utility that was previously referred to as in this article resolved a few installation problems but sometimes cause problems with other programs or components installed on the computer. For this reason, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center. "Is there a solution to update?

    Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows Installer Cleanup utility and removed from its server to download because, according to Microsoft "while the utility Windows Installer Cleanup fixed some installation issues, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer."

    I didn't know all the information about the "other components" were damaged or under what circumstances, but I guess someone, something had some time, fool you.

    However, you can still get the Installer Cleanup utility, including the utility msizap.exe (which is packed with the Installer Cleanup utility but is not the same thing), http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html

    If you want to be ultra careful, get you the imagery of disk or disk cloning software to backup (which is A good thing to have in any case) and create a complete backup of the drive before using the program installation Cleanup Utility or msizap.  In this way, if anything goes wrong in fact, you can restore your system from backup.

    Hello kate9,

    Utility Windows Installer Cleanup was fired by Microsoft as it may damage other components.
    I recommend that you use a 3rd software remove part or uninstall the utility to remove iTunes.

    Once removed, then run the SFC/scannow Ajay suggested. If no problem found, you can then try reinstalling iTunes.

    Please answer back with an update on your status.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
