Description
There are several similar tools, among which I am familiar with smallfrogs Daniel's "Windows Installer redundant file Cleanup Tool" (hereinafter referred to as WIC), in fact, I have been using his tools to carry out the relevant tasks (currently his official website/HTTP/ www.kztechs.com/is not accessible and can obtain the tool and its information through a third-party site, there are two reasons why you might want to re-write a tool like this:
- wic is not available for 64-bit operating systems . Not to say not to run, but to get the wrong result, is to sweep out the MSP file is not redundant, this is very deadly, is a key issue. I think it is because the WIC writing age, May was not considered for use on the NT6 platform. The technical aspects of this problem I think because the 64-bit NT6 system redirects the registry access to 32-bit programs, that is, when the 32-bit program accesses certain keys, it actually accesses the other keys. For example, this type of tool requires access to the "Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\installer\userdata\s-1-5-18\patches", The "Hkey_local_machine\software\wow6432node \microsoft\windows\ Currentversion\installer\userdata\s-1-5-18\patches ", on this issue, a lot of articles have been explained, here do not repeat. As a result, it may cause WIC to access the wrong key on a 64-bit system, and because the error key does not log the installed MSP file information, it eventually causes WIC to identify a large number of MSP files that are not redundant states as redundant.
- The WIC removal experience is not good. Who use who know, is to delete a file a total of 2 times before and after the MessageBox popup: Delete 1 times before the request, deleted 1 times, and every file has two pop-up window, so if you want to delete 10 files, the total will encounter 10x2=20 times pop-up window, space/carriage return two indicate a great pressure. Dare to assume that Daniel in this session of treatment is not considered AH. Another user said there is no "select/no" experience problem, this is actually good solution, thanks to the ListView control (WIC should not be a. NET program, the author uses the programming framework under which the control might not be called a ListView, but I'm sure it's the ability to invoke the same native Win32 control, which is displayed as SysListView32 under Spy + +) , Can be selected by all lines + space (or the mouse tick) to achieve the purpose of all-selected/not selected, familiar with the win system of the veteran users probably know some of the similar operating skills, so that is not a problem.
Is the above two reasons let me have to re-build the idea of the wheel, so I can say that my new tool is the location of the WIC is a substitute, naturally there is no problem of WIC, of course, I do not rule out this tool has other problems, there is a word called What, no bug program is nothing to do the program. In a word, thanks to the feedback from users.
In addition I have to say, even if WIC as a realization of some problems, but it works is remarkable, in fact, my tool is based on the redundancy of Daniel's decision principle to achieve , but now his official website can not be accessed, currently access here to learn some information. Once again solemnly thank Smallfrogs Daniel for his research and sharing. Also thanks to:
- A scheme from CodeProject.com, which solves the problem of a ListView sort with a native tag (triangle mark). Easy to sort, with a custom tag and not difficult, the system native tag
- The original author of each icon. Recommend a high-quality icon to ape friends, the author seems to be a JP, the program UI to the designer, the work is really good

Hope to get user feedback, thank you very much!
