Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Re: Incorrect detection of win...

Last post by jvidal - April 08, 2026, 09:14:14 PM

it's like I said. PmPC is incorrectly detecting the entry "Winamp language packs" v1.7 as if it were Winamp. the version "1.7" comes from the language packs uninstaller, located in the same folder where the REAL winamp lies, which is winamp.exe.

I got some new info. Although winamp is insalled and it works fine, for some reason, there is no uninstall entry for Winamp, only for the language packs, that's probably where the confusion is coming from.

Forgot to include that the most recent uninstall was done using Revo Uninstaller's Advanced scan to find and delete all traces of PMPC - still didn't help.

I have a friend I'm trying to help who is elderly and not very good with tech. She has Win11 Home 25H2 and had been using PatchMyPC Home Updater until I recently noticed it wasn't running. I had to do a non-destructive Windows reinstall from the Settings > System > Recovery screen to overcome some corruption that SFC and DISM couldn't handle, made sure to recheck the .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows Features from Control Panel, and have tried several times to uninstall, download, and reinstall PMPC v.5.4.3.1. Each time the install ends with no indication of success or failure and the program doesn't run (it does display the UAC prompt but the UI never appears). How do I proceed?

Sorry about this! 
But can you send a screenshot from PMPC for this issue, and a screenshot from Add/Remove Products for this Winamp Language Packs?

I know, we have to exclude that title from detecting for now.
Can you try again now please?

"Winamp Language packs".
but you are completely missing the point here. the problem is that PMPC is analyzing the wrong executable, as i said in my first post.
