HomeDev

The license can be viewed by running the installer, about step 2 or 3 of the installation wizard. You can Ctrl-A, Ctr-C Ctrl-V if you wish to capture it. You can read the license without having to install the product, just click cancel on that step.

Hi, The product is not 100% Open source, purely from the fact that I have a donate link within the product which would be the first thing someone would change if it was open source. HomeDev obtains a few dollars from people who the product has helped. So it is really donate-ware. It is a click-wrapped license, and the product is offered 100% free. The license that appears in the installer, is based upon the MIT license. Essentially the software is offered 100 for free but with no warranty that the...

Thanks Ian, I am working on an update to PatchCleaner, (in fact I have been doing that for a while now) I will add this to my development backlog. I think the use of the registry to read this data will allow me to by default exclude by product. As the product in the registry lists all of its patches (whether they are current or orphaned), I will be able to exclude each patch. So you may be able to tick, Silverlight and have that excluded from the clean up. Thanks John From: Ian Broadbent [mailto:ibroadbent@users.sf.net]...

Hi Ian, I have never experienced "Applying windows updates" after running patch cleaner. I would be interested if you are able to reproduce this every time? I have run this hundreds of times on many different computers, and I know there are companies that have PatchCleaner running as a admin untility on entire organisations computers to automatically clean their pc's and have not had this feedback from anyone else? I have had the odd support request in the past where PatchCleaner was being blamed...

Hi Ian, Yes, PatchCleaner is not fool proof. I created it originally for my own use and personally have only had issues with Adobe Reader. As you can see on this discussion board, someone has identified potential issues with Office 2010 updates, and one particular update for Silverlight seemed to have issues, although I have not experienced these myself. The product is clear that it is not 100% perfect and to use at your own risk, hence the provision of the move feature, which I recommend as the...

Hi Michael, Just so you know HomeDev is a one man band so not like I have any army of people responding to the emails that I get.. Sorry to hear it has caused issues on Office 2010? You are the only person to have reported this to date? I am currently running Office 2016 and have no issues with updates, and was probably running 2013 when I first created patch cleaner, and had no issues with these. I have plans to release a new version with a bit more configuration to allow you to exclude certain...

Hi Michael, Sorry for not getting back to you but I have been a bit busy building a house, and looking for a new Job, so a few things on my plate to worry about and PatchCleaner is a bit down the order on my prority list. Just so you know HomeDev is a one man band so not like I have any army of people responding to the emails that I get.. Sorry to hear it has caused issues on Office 2010? You are the only person to have reported this to date? I am currently running Office 2016 and have no issues...
