Issue with installed software vs found software

Open vertigo220 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

There are several mismatches between what's installed and what CloneApp finds. The following are installed but not found/checked by it:

  • FreeCommander
  • Handbrake
  • PDF Split and Merge
  • PDF24 Creator
  • SMPlayer
  • VirtualBox

And these are found as installed but are not:

  • CCleaner
  • Microsoft Office Excel 2010/2013/2016
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2016
  • Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010/2013/2016
  • Microsoft Office Word 2010/2013/2016

I assume the reason for that is because CCleaner does exist on my computer, but it's buried deep on a secondary ( not C ) drive and I don't think that should count as installed or be backed up. And it doesn't make sense for that to be all it takes for it to show as installed when the first group don't despite also being on the secondary drive. As for MS Office, I uninstall the pre-installed junk that comes with Windows, and while I have some Office stuff on the secondary drive, again, that shouldn't count, not to mention it's Office 2007, not 10/13/16.

Also, a bit unrelated but I'll add it here. I use XnViewMP, but CloneApp only has XnView, so obviously that doesn't show as installed, but I wonder why one is included and the other isn't.

I also add AdGuard to the list of installed but not found programs. The file is probably not updated to new versions. You need to add the whole "%ProgramData%\AdGuard" folder
