Bumper01, That worked for me too. There is no need to check Run as Admin, as the installer run as Admin anyway.

cos, There's no need to be disappointed. Both Revo and IObit Uninstaller do a much better job of scanning for leftovers and they are both free.

Steve,
same thing when I tried to install in win10

I've downloaded and installed three times now. Always the same. Activation but nothing installed!!!

Dennis, Me too. I get exactly the same error.

Update - installed OK on my Win 10 after disabling Windows Defender real time protection.

consuella, What about Revo?

Todd,

Sorry, but my objective was to conduct a simple test of today's offer (on my windows 10 32 bit machine).

And in order to compare it with Revo, if I would have wanted to do so in the first place, I would have had to create a restore point before uninstalling Qiling Disk Master with Revo, perform an uninstall, then restore my system, and then test Smarty Uninstaller.

But again, my goal was to carry out a simple test of Smarty Uninstaller.

Cheers,

consuella

consuella,

O.K.
But if you wanted to know what I think of Revo in general, I'd like to say that I've been using Revo for a good number of years, and I am generally very pleased with it.

One has to be always careful with Revo, though, if one decides to use the advanced mode, because- as I have noticed- it sometimes brings out, for possible deletion, elements of some other programs of the same developer. And if one rushes to check off everything for deletion, one may screw up those other programs, and they will stop working.

drvajra,
I don't even have to install the program to give you an answer. Most all software uses the registry to hold it's settings. There will be no registry settings copied over, therefore your software will not work.

dMf, Doesn't hurt to disable AV to install a GAOtd app. Try it, if it doesn't work also try right-clicking setup.exe /properties to see if you need to uncheck blocking.

Sam-Ottawa, I disabled Avast & Malwarebytes. Still won't install only activates

Sam-Ottawa,try to download using the browser's builtin download manger , don't use external download manager like IDM to download the zip file , worked for me!

JD,
It can't be done because no registry entries will be copied to the new Windows 7 machine.

reghakr, There are programs that will. I just asked if this was one. The success rate of several I know of are not perfect but they do write to the registry.

JD, It just creates a short cut between drives called a Junction Point. I assume it relies on the registry of the initial drive

Eitan, GAOTD, do you have a version that can be installed without error?

indianacarnie, Revo Uninstaller Free has supported 64-bit since v.2.0 (August 04, 2016).
From Revo's website: "Revo Uninstaller Free is fully compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows Server".

indianacarnie: If you're uncomfortable with this, there are plenty of alternatives around. I myself have Revo Uninstaller Pro, because I don't subscribe to the theory that freeware is always best-ware. Paying for something that's important to a computer's smooth running isn't money wasted, so long as you're careful about what you buy.

Amongst the umpteen freewares out there, 'Geek Uninstaller' has a great reputation and is of known provenance. It's free. It does not, however, monitor installs -- though to be honest, there've been several times when I've had to try to untangle a friend or relative's uninstall all because of a so-called 'monitored install' where monitoring included stuff that happened to be live on the PC at the time but didn't necessarily have anything at all to do with the software installation.

iObit seems to get good reviews for its uninstaller but that's not a developer I'd go anywhere near, based on past experience.

Revo Free does a good job -- and with x64, too, so don't be misled by out-of-date criticisms -- and is particularly good in ensuring that a restore point is created before anything else happens (not that Windows' restore points are to have 100% faith in, but even so . . .)

A routine search will find Geek Uninstaller.

sirpaul2, Lol, imagine that. I've been using it for so long I never even noticed. Don't pay attention when I install it anymore because I've used it for so long and with such excellent results I don't even bother looking, just install. Thanks for the update, I'm sorta embarrassed actually.

MikeR, Same as I said to Sirpaul2. I'll be sticking with Revo. I let my Pro version run out a while back because the Free version is all I really need. Same wit Ccleaner actually. And agree with you about IObit, I don't want anything from them NEAR my machine!

David, it has a few advantages over the free version of Revo. It has an installation monitor if you wish to use it. It keeps a history of uninstalls that it does. The above description claims it can "Move applications without reinstalling", but if it has such a function it is too well hidden for me to find it. But its main advantages are its "Advanced Details" option, and its list of "Broken" uninstallers where it gives you the option of "Select valid path" for the uninstaller. I haven't thoroughly checked my "Broken" list yet, but I know it has listed some of them correctly. There are others that I am pretty sure are ok, but won't know until I try to uninstall. Revo will only tell you about a "broken" uninstaller after you commence to uninstall and it creates a system restore point. Don't get me wrong, I like Revo but I can see where this may be better in some respects.

Brian Ingham,

Make sure to follow the following note from the readme file:

"IMPORTANT: please note that due to the Themida wrapper usage your installation might be blocked by your antivirus (AVG, Avast or Kaspersky)!

This will result in no program installed on your PC even if your antivirus reports no files are blocked.
In order to install the program, you'll have to temporally disable your antivirus.

If you have Kaspersky antivirus, disable it and restart the computer.
Please make sure it won't start automatically with the computer.
Now please download the program archive once again and try to install it.

Sorry for the inconvenience!"

Steve Edmeades,
Same here - "access violation at address 0040389A in module "setup.exe". Read of address 87038080.

Windows 10, anti-virus disabled. Same violation on both desktop and laptop.

mike and Steve, I also get this error when trying to install on Win 10 laptop, but installed on my Win XP desktop without a problem.

Update - installed on my Win 10 laptop by extracting the files to a folder on my desktop and disabling Windows Defender real time protection.
