Registry scanner "Exclude Always" doesn't work with this latest beta.
I remember that it was fixed in a previous 2.x release, using "Use ignore-list intelligently" option, but now it stopped working.
BTW I removed previous beta, reinstalled the latest but now I cannot exclude many (>100) registry keys.
Hari, could you please enable an option to
force any key exclussion? As I've told you before, many of "invalid" keys found by AU are in fact necessary.
You know, it is really very annoying, if not dangerous, manually check a whole list of more than a hundred registry keys every time.
Other bugs found in latest beta (3.0.0.4031)
1. In registry cleaner screen, check/uncheck highlighted items works only for the first of them. For example, highlight ten keys and try to uncheck all of them. Possibly that's problem with exclusions.
2. In Disk Analysis, F1 shortcut still doesn't display help file
Everything else works fine.
Thanks

Download latest build 4032, all the errors have been fixed.
I dont know why F1 is not working for DA. Its a mystery. Since there is not much help in the help file for DA and since users can open it from the menu, let us ignore that error.

Beta installer found VC runtime libs (MFC71.dll, Msvcr71.dll) in use. Same with wipe.dll, wipext.dll etc. I suppose the last ones are used by AU shell extension. Any idea how to install it without first uninstall previous build and loose all settings ?
I hope final installer will replace files in use on next boot, instead display error messages.
I dont know why F1 is not working for DA
AFAIK there is no VK_F1 accelerator key defined in DA.EXE resources.
Thanks for the update

Method1: Reboot, and dont right click on explorer, desktop etc for a context menu. Install au.
Method2: No reboot needed here. Open task manager > Processes. Select explorer.exe and click End Process. Now install Au (use File > New Task). After installation, run explorer.exe using the file menu of Task Manager.
Maybe thats the problem, but why does it work here ?

That's weird
F1 never worked in DA here, it is not big deal though just strange...
