v1.9.0

What's changed

  • The command-line tool is now its own download. installerclean-cli.exe is a single self-contained exe, no install, nothing left behind, for scripting and deployment. (It already shipped inside the setup; now you can grab just the one file.)
  • Better help if a file ever goes missing from C:\Windows\Installer. A new README section explains, in Microsoft's own words, how that can happen (never from InstallerClean) and how to get the file back, and the app now flags a registered file that's missing from disk with a note on restoring it.
  • The README is now in seven languages (French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian, alongside English).
  • Improved Narrator and Voice Access support and full keyboard operation, and the app now follows the Windows reduced-motion and text-size settings.
  • Delete now checks the Recycle Bin is usable. If it isn't, you're asked how to proceed (move the files instead, delete permanently, or cancel).

Full per-change detail is in the changelog.

Downloads

  • InstallerClean-setup.exe (~90 MB) - Inno Setup installer; handles uninstall via Add/Remove Programs. Includes the command-line tool.
  • InstallerClean-portable.exe (~65 MB) - Self-contained single executable. Copy to a USB stick, run, done.
  • installerclean-cli.exe (~38 MB) - The command-line tool on its own. Self-contained, no install, nothing left behind. For scripting, scheduled tasks and deployment.
  • InstallerClean-slim.exe (~2 MB) - Smallest download. Requires the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime.

The portable is back to its compressed ~65 MB shape this release, about half the size it was in v1.8.2. The setup, portable and CLI builds bundle the .NET 10 runtime so nothing else needs to be installed. The slim build is for machines that already have .NET 10.

(Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\InstallerClean-setup.exe).Hash -eq 'fec25099f77130d07cdc4ab297493ef1e019bca5d8a46c4bb0f6155d1f90ffef'

All four builds clean across every engine. Different denominators because not every engine runs on every file.
