CCleaner v5

Yes there was link to builds page on main download page but it seems that it's gone now. It looks like they are slowly removing those builds and at the end only full installer will be available.

 

Yeah. They are preparing this step with removing the link to the builds-page (= new users of CCleaner are not aware of other builds) but the builds-page itself is still functional. But for how long
We'll see.

 

Then users have to be more proactive and look for workarounds such as getting another links or direct download links:

Code:

Builds: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds
Portable: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/portable/downloadfile
Slim: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim/downloadfile
Pro (change version in url): https://download.piriform.com/ccsetup538pro.exe
Technician (change version in url): https://download.piriform.com/te/ccsetup538_te.exe
Business (change version in url): https://download.piriform.com/be/ccsetup538_be.exe
Business x64 MSI (change version in url): https://download.piriform.com/be/ccsetup538_x64_be.msi
Business x86 MSI (change version in url): https://download.piriform.com/be/ccsetup538_x86_be.msi

I know I know, those links could change or could be completely deprecated in the future.

 

I don't understand all those problems with getting the slim version (for example).
Last week people somewhere else seemed to have also problems.
I checked again, using IE11.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds
Go to Slim download there
It gives you https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim
Click "start the download"
It gets me ccsetup538_slim.exe

If you know the link there is no problem (at the moment). But if you go to their page there is no more link to those pages. Usually there was a link to builds pages on their main download page ( https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download ) but it's gone now. It looks like they don't want people to find and use that page any more.

 

Aha, OK then. I always go direct to the builds page (which is in my bookmarks). Thanks.

 

portable solution from PA: ccPortable

 

Interesting, thank you.

 

Big up to PA .

Two programs I use often: first SUMo, now ccPortable (now to point CCEnhancer to the latter).

Edit: Which directory should I add to CCEnhancer: C:\PortableApps.com\PortableApps\ccPortable\App\DefaultData?

 

For now \ccPortable\App\CCleaner here

Good to see Portable back again.

 

For some users Avast was being installed without indication of the Avast installation (it happened with v5.38 and the latest v5.39):

 

I got the Avast free pod with CCleaner v5.38, kept it for a couple of days. I deleted the Avast pod in the end.

 

CCUpdate.exe starts immediately after setup, not sure, if it was doing it before this release.
CCleaner connects now, even when everything is unchecked (Inform about updates/View Release Notes).
If a firewall is blocking outbound, ccsetup takes about 10-15 secs to start, otherwise it starts within a second.

 

Better to use the portable one.

 

I had to opt out of installing Avast on a machine running Norton with this version.

 

... or PortableApps.com one ...

 

I have just found this interesting key, so much for speculations (some people suggesting, that the setup was tainted and not from Piriform).

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\No Chrome Offer Until]

 

Which setup? v5.39?

 

All since the offer is included. Many are saying, that Avast is not included by default and people should download a clean setup from Piriform. Considering the past, I can not blame them.

 

Not sure whether it's the new version of CCleaner, or the new Chrome beta, but Google Chrome is no longer showing up for me under CCleaner's 'Applications' menu. I've been using Chrome beta since the beginning at this is the first time I've experienced this. Anyone else?

 

Been getting a download error on PA 5.39.6399 version for a couple of days now.

Anyone else?
