Download CCleaner Slim Version using InetGet

[realcapone]

Hi everyone. I just need help on how to download the Ccleaner Slim version. I am using the slim version so that I can avoid installing the 3rd party applications when I run the installer silently with the script. The full version installer link works fine but when I use the Slim version, it doesn't work at all. Am I missing something?  Thank you. 

Local $UrlDownloader = InetGet("https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim", $Directory, 1, 1)

Here's the website for the slim version:

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim

OR

https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds - Full / Portable / Slim

I thoughta filename had to be passed, not just a page address.

Any way try this...

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim/downloadfile

As J1 points out (and the help file clearly states) InetGet gets a file. This works just fine for me:

InetGet("http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim/downloadfile", @DesktopDir & "\CCleaner.exe")

Hi guys, thanks for the help. I used the http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim because it automatically downloads the file and I didn't notice the download button on that page has a different link so yeah the http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim/downloadfile works well. I really did not want to use the main installer for two reasons, the 3rd party apps and also the fact where it would change it's URL if there is an update. I am not yet sure how to go around with that I'm still trying to learn. Again thank you for your help.

I use this to download the portable version and extract it to my desktop

InetClose(-1)
            InetGet("http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/portable/downloadfile", "c:\users\public\desktop\ccleaner.zip", 1, 0)
            InetClose(-1)

            $vbs = (@DesktopDir & "/extract.vbs")
            FileOpen($vbs, 0)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'ZipFile="C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ccleaner.zip"' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'ExtractTo="C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ccleaner"' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'If NOT fso.FolderExists(ExtractTo) Then' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, '   fso.CreateFolder(ExtractTo)' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'End If' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'set FilesInZip=objShell.NameSpace(ZipFile).items' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'objShell.NameSpace(ExtractTo).CopyHere(FilesInZip)' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'Set fso = Nothing' & @CRLF)
            FileWrite($vbs, 'Set objShell = Nothing' & @CRLF)
            FileClose($vbs)
            Sleep(2000)
            RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'cscript %userprofile%\desktop\extract.vbs', "", @SW_HIDE)
            Sleep(8000)
            FileDelete($vbs)
            FileDelete("c:\users\public\desktop\ccleaner.zip")
            MsgBox(-1, "Download complete", "Ccleaner has been downloaded and extracted to the desktop")

Hey there @pcjunki. Thanks for your input, somehow I'm not able to see the extracted portable Ccleaner but anyway my script is working fine now using the code above. Now I am wondering if there is any way we can perhaps assign or have a permanent link so that whenever a program or a URL would update then we can still download the latest exe without constantly changing the code. Malwarebytes is one example of this. 

[JohnOne]

Have your url in an external file like an ini or something.

[realcapone]

Thanks John but is there anything equivalent to wget or apt-get? Trying to search the forum for it as I type this but yeah something similar so that it will just take the exe from a repository and you'll only have to type in specific or unchanged file names.

InetGet("http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim/downloadfile" , "c:\users\public\desktop\ccsetup_slim.exe")

 

use this, it doesn't matter about newer versions or not.

Yeah ccleaner is fine but with Malwarebytes and some other programs that constantly updates their URLs with their app version it's not going to work. I'm still trying to find a workaround for it though. Thanks.

Hi pcjunki, I was trying to use your codes to extract a zipfile but somehow I'm not able to make it work, I am missing something? I'm trying it for CCleaner and TDsskiller. Both are zip files but I don't see it extracted in my desktop though. Thanks

pay attention to these 2 lines

 FileWrite($vbs, 'ZipFile="C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ccleaner.zip"' & @CRLF)
 FileWrite($vbs, 'ExtractTo="C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ccleaner"' & @CRLF)
 

[realcapone]

I did. I had to resort to 7z extraction as I was confused with the Filewrite not working. Hehe. Thanks
