winapp2.ini: 32-bit architecture vs. 64-bit environment variables

[Andrew Ziem]

Hi. I use PeerBlock and that was added a few months ago in winapp2. CCleaner detects PeerBlock OK on my system but BB doesn't.

[Peerblock*]
LangSecRef=3024
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Peerblock
Default=False
FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Peerblock|*.log;History.db;*.bak;cache.p2b

I just contacted by winapp2 about this and apparently CCleaner isn't having this issue. The issue is that BB is not detecting it at all, meaning it is not showing up in the cleaning rules at all. I have PeerBlock installed under the Program Files (not x86) where 64-bit applications are installed under Windows 7.

Also, Piriform mentioned this "The interesting bit is that CCleaner corrects internally for programfiles vs programfiles(x86) (as we learned 3½ years ago in this thread).. Try moving it to programfiles(x86) just to see what happens, I guess." I am not sure if BleachBit is capable of that either. x86 for windows users if 32-bit the other on is for 64-bit and my path directory is in 64-bit, so is it possible that BB doesn't detect 64-bit applications for winapp2 entries? Just another thing to look into for future entries. Otherwise, it is probably a wildcard issue and BB needs to add detection for wildcards.

I'm guessing it's a 32-bit/64-bit issue. After this release, I'll check into it

Confirmed in BleachBit 1.2 on Windows 7 64-bit with PeerBlock 1.2 installed in C:\Program FIles\ which exactly matches %ProgramFiles%\Peerblock.

This does not look like a 64-bit/32-bit issue or wildcard issue because the environment variable matches the actual installation folder.

The section 3024 is Utilities.

This is a 64-bit/32-bit issue. On 64-bit Windows the value of %ProgramFiles% depends on the architecture of the process.

From 64-bit process
ProgramFiles=c:\Program Files\

From 32-bit process
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files (x86)\
ProgramW6432=C:\Program Files\

[Andrew Ziem (ahziem1)]

In Winapp2.ini on 64-bit Windows the single %ProgramFiles% in Detect= and FileKey1= expands to both C:\Program FIles (x86)\ and C:\Program FIles\
