Found the problem. You're checking the wrong version property.

UCheck / StarCraft II wrong version recognized

« Last post by 00Eraser00 on February 29, 2024, 10:10:31 PM »

Hi,

UCheck recognizes the wrong version of StarCraft II and says there is an update available when I'm already on the latest version. It detects version 5.0.12.25579 when in fact the latest version 5.0.12.91115 is installed. I don't know where UCheck is getting the version from.

The uninstallation entry in the registry looks like this:

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\StarCraft II]
"DisplayName"="StarCraft II"
"UninstallString"="\"C:\\ProgramData\\Battle.net\\Agent\\Blizzard Uninstaller.exe\" --lang=enUS --uid=s2_engb --displayname=\"StarCraft II\""
"Comments"="StarCraft II"
"Publisher"="Blizzard Entertainment"
"DisplayIcon"="I:\\StarCraft II\\Support\\SC2Switcher.exe"
"InstallLocation"="I:\\StarCraft II"
"InstallSource"="I:\\StarCraft II"
"Contact"="Blizzard Support"
"HelpLink"="http://us.blizzard.com/support/"
"URLInfoAbout"="http://us.blizzard.com/support/"
"URLUpdateInfo"="http://us.blizzard.com/support/"
Battle.net says I have the latest version, see screenshot.
Nirsofts UnistallView lists the correct version too https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/uninstall_view.html

Log is attached.

UCheck / Re: Questions RE: UCheck Portable v5.3.0.0 (rel. 16-Feb-2024) - Custom Settings Lost

« Last post by lmacri on February 27, 2024, 02:28:54 PM »

...I re-created my custom settings and it appears that those settings are now stored in a new subfolder called \UCheck (see attached images).

Hi @Curson:

Further to the questions I asked in my original 17-Feb-2024 post, can Adlice provide guidance to UCheck Portable v5.3.x users on how to clean up the remnants of previous UCheck Portable versions?

If they don't want to tell us what orphaned remnants of older versions of UCheck Portable v5.2.x and earlier we can safely remove, could they at least tell us if there are any registry or folders (e.g., C:\Program Data\UCheck) that we must keep to ensure that UCheck Portable v5.3.x runs correctly?

Phrased another way, the first time I ran UCheck Free Portable v5.3.0 from the E:\Portable\UCheck 5_3_0 folder of my removable USB stick it created a new subfolder at E:\Portable\UCheck 5_3_0\UCheck as shown in the attached images.  Is this \UCheck subfolder now the only location where custom configuration settings, debug logs, etc. are now stored for UCheck Portable v5.3.x?

If I want to run UCheck Portable v5.3.x or higher from a different folder do I have to copy and paste the entire \UCheck subfolder into the new location of my UCheck_portable64.exe executable in order to preserve my custom configuration settings?

UCheck / Make an option to change between google search and duckduckgo

« Last post by dashdash on February 19, 2024, 07:26:11 PM »

Like in title. Make it possible to select duckduckgo instead of google searches. I don't want to be redirected to google every time I want to use manually updates searching.

UCheck / Re: Option to not report preview and beta versions

« Last post by justus.addiss on February 18, 2024, 06:18:28 PM »

I have attached another example of a beta being shown, in this case for KiCAD, the free electronics design application. The current release is 7.0.10 and UCheck is recommending 8.0.0.rc.2.

I also have issues with some of the sysinternals.com apps, such as contig.exe. This is not really a UCheck issue as the latest version is 1.83 but the contig.exe property details show 1.8.3 so Ucheck thinks 1.8 is outdated compared to 1.83 - although UCheck actually thinks 1.70 is the latest version so UCheck's DB is not up-to-date (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/contig). It does mean that I have to mentally ignore this every time I run UCheck.

Thanks for the work you do!

I have the same issue - when running 5.3.0.0 portable (I do not that it installed) for the 1st time, all my setting were gone and I had to re-validate my license. Running it a second time was fine, so resetting all the setting and revalidating appears to be a one-time issue.
