Flashget

@ ironside

It looks like there are different packages for the same version.

It's no problem as long as we can get rid of GTB. I also got rid of FGTB.

I used this mirror to download flashget from and no google toolbar is installed using the /S switch on this version

Well It works for me anyway

Good luck mate

This topic is going like a dog chasing it's tail, but I will say this. On the FlashGet site, they mention to explicity use the new build 138 (I'm not a FlashGet user, so get me biased here). That is a minor version change, so is still v1.72 with bug fixes. Now, strange thing is that I just downloaded with a fresh browser cache, a version 1.0.0.0 but the additional properties has v1.7.2.0. This is totally wrong build number and is...well, you figure it out.

Edit:

More clarification

That's true.

Here's my take on it.

If you have once installed FG, and also got the googlebar as an extra,

de-installing it via "Add and remove programs" will still leave traces of the googlebar left in the registry.

Perhaps the installer sees these "traces" and therefore think it is installed.

Hence, on subsequent installations it wont get installed.

I'mm gonna try it out and not use my un-installing apps that takes snapshots of the registry before and after.

(which I always normally do)

The md5 of that file is identical to the one from amazesoft that has the googlebar.

Like you said google toolbar must still be istalled even after unistalling flashget or is installed with another program perhaps

The flashget with the google toolbar had an seperate entry in add/remove programs sou you could uninstall it without uninstalling flashget so i presume if it has not got a seperate entry entry in add.remove then your problem must be elsewhere

[LispWarez]

just to clear all this s**t up. FlashGet DOES install Google Toolbar. but its also very easy to remove. just add this to your script after you have installed Flashget.

regsvr32 /u /s "%PROGRAMFILES%\Google\GoogleToolbar1.dll"

and that will remove the toolbar. Easy

@ ironside

Used Your link and this google crap is in there.

Remove goole is easy BUT reg entire remains and that's all Goole need.

Pitty that there is no switch.

In that case why dont i have a "Google" folder in "program files" after i've installed flashget ?

Oh!, You don't half make it complicated for yourselves, When it could be so easy!

Have fun!

The Flashget.exe is 1.7.2.0 in the resources, version 1.7.2.128 in the about window so the later matches the version recommended on their download page.

I've done some quite extensive registry snooping, and has made a "flashget.cmd" that should delete all of the google crap:

PS. I updated it 2 minutes ago.

[MGadAllah]

The version exist in the website now does not containe a tool bar

[ironside]

To get rid of the google bar use this command:

regsvr32 /s /u "C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbar2.dll"

That will remove it form IE and add/remove programs

You can then run a delte command to delete the google folder in program files along with the GoogleToolbar2.dll .

Dunno why no one thought of that before !

Have a nice day !
