Thanks for any help,
Alex

Thank You for the links,

Surely I have read these topics befor posting. First link is about uninstall of google, so it's very bad idea, second one is better, but it's not install anymore, but self extract and there are a few probs with that way like explorer int. etc.

So what? No switch? Google realy sucks...

Actually 2.58mb is with Google toolbar 2.41mb is without google toolbar and no entry in add/remove programs

But there is a Flashget toolbar in IE i dunno if that ws there before as i reallt dont use IE anyway

[Alex]

Man,

That's not true. 2.41mb is with google toolbar. Check it.

Sorry...

[ironside]

GTB is installed into IE.

Mine is 2.41 MB downloaded from the official site of FG. It's with GTB.

I would suggest you to use Free Fownload Manager.

It's free, it's great (maybe the best), doesn't include any s*** and it could be installed silently very easy either by switch or AutoIt script.

Here is an example, the script should be slightly modified to match the newest version (2.1.494).

Use quality software

Do not support companies that bundle s*** in their products.

Like i said before there's a "FlashGET" toolbar but no "Google" toolbar.

That may accutnt for the file size

Maybe a picture can paint a thousand word's

Attached File(s)

•  flashget.JPG (124.25K)
  Number of downloads: 53

Yes, there's also a FGTB in IE.

[ironside]

Yeah, But no google toolbar installedis'nt that what you were referring to ?

I've now unistalled/reinstalled many times today and i still have no google toolbar installed on the this newer build of flashget

An older flashget 1.72 (2.58mb) installs the google toolbar and has a seperate install entry in add/remove programs so i uninstalled both flashget and google toolbar re-downloaded the new (build 128) version of flashget (2.41mb) and guess what no google toolbar is installed !


To test this you should uninstall flashget and goole toolbar from add/remobe programs
then delete the flashget and google folders in program files
and then re-download the latest build of flashget from the official flashget download mirrors
and install

[MGadAllah]

You may use my autoit if you want, it does not include Google Toolbar

[Alex]

@ ironside,

If You don't have IE maybe flashget does not offer GTB to install, otherwise - for sure it does. I downloaded new version a few times and it's really there.

Autoinf - vey good, just could You be more specific how to use it.

Thakns in advance,
Alex

@ ironside

It looks like there are different packages for the same version.

It's no problem as long as we can get rid of GTB. I also got rid of FGTB.

[ironside]

I used this mirror to download flashget from and no google toolbar is installed using the /S switch on this version

Well It works for me anyway

Good luck mate

This topic is going like a dog chasing it's tail, but I will say this. On the FlashGet site, they mention to explicity use the new build 138 (I'm not a FlashGet user, so get me biased here). That is a minor version change, so is still v1.72 with bug fixes. Now, strange thing is that I just downloaded with a fresh browser cache, a version 1.0.0.0 but the additional properties has v1.7.2.0. This is totally wrong build number and is...well, you figure it out.

Edit:
More clarification

That's true.

Here's my take on it.
If you have once installed FG, and also got the googlebar as an extra,
de-installing it via "Add and remove programs" will still leave traces of the googlebar left in the registry.
Perhaps the installer sees these "traces" and therefore think it is installed.
Hence, on subsequent installations it wont get installed.
I'mm gonna try it out and not use my un-installing apps that takes snapshots of the registry before and after.
(which I always normally do)

The md5 of that file is identical to the one from amazesoft that has the googlebar.
