AWCC Installation Manager .exe, I found it installed even though I don't use it anymore...

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

I found the Alienware command center
AWCCInstallationManager.exe in the following folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{D2DA930B-CB5D-4DD6-BF62-BE6C310A353D}

I have it installed a couple of years ago so I could config the colors on my Alienware keyboard I bought for my custom gaming desktop rig.
I uninstalled the AWCC after finishing the color config on said Alienware keyboard.

I was wondering anyone knew how to get rid of it the AWCC Install manager other then just deleting it?

I some times see a windows notification pop up saying its trying to update or install the AWCC..
It has me worried and annoyed as it should no longer be installed...
recently..
and its not in the installed programs list at all for the manager or the full AWCC..

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

I reinstalled AWCC using a fresh up to date copy and found it wiped my RGB keyboard settings.
after redoing those.. I promptly uninstalled AWCC again.. but it left behind the manager exe again..
so I manually forced its deletion.. will see if that fixes anything..

Revo Pro should remove it.

Download and install Revo Uninstaller Free and use it to remove this app. . . . and almost everything else

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

unfortunately I don't have Revo Pro or any money to spare for it if its a paid app...
ooh there is a free version too..

Josey Wales · Nov 13, 2024

REVO Free should do it as well and REVO Pro does come with a Trial , but I do not know what their limitations are. I have a Great deal of Alienware Bloat that I still have but I still use The Command center. I few weeks ago I tried removing more but ran into some issues, so I am leery of going further. The Command Center is the only app that I use.

I got a 50% off special for pro version so I grabbed it lol...
$19.97 for two years..
anyway I don't see DELL or Alienware listed in Revo Uninstaller PRO even.

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

I also found Alienware in
C:\ProgramData\ and deleted it manual leftovers
found
C:\ProgramData\Dell\CoreServices.Client
tried to get rid of it but somewhere there is still an active program or service but none listed as DELL or Alienware.. bummer..
I am not liking DELL anymore lol.

ok I found a bunch of running DELL apps in background tasks..
manually killed the processes.
now to stop em from being restarted in services if only I could find them I didn't see any DELL services by name listed.

I do

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

lol nice I guess.. but My system is my own custom rig..
so its not a DELL PC.. I uninstalled the other Alienware stuff.. using Windows App settings list.

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

in
C:\Windows\Temp\{39D26306-3A7C-4774-90FD-163E88F543FD}
I found AWCC.ToastNotifier.exe
It could be the culprit to whats causing those update notifications..
getting rid of it? a problem maybe...
will report back.

a reg scan using one of my favorite programs called
RegScanner (v2.75)(x64) by NirSoft.
lots of great utilities on his website.

There are 361 Reg entries to get rid of it seems for the toast app...
bummer on DELL.

If you haven't done so... reinstall the Alienware thing, and then use REVO Pro or FREE to uninstall it.. and make sure to do the "Scan" for leftovers.

If anything is left after that... just manually delete it.
I've never found any leftovers for anything after using REVO to "Scan" for leftovers.

Melchior · Nov 13, 2024

I manually removed the DELL and AWCC leftovers..
restarted so far no issue I hope...

Well it was the only Dell product that you have, if not Dell where? I have a Dell Gaming Monitor on another PC and it has some kind of App that would run on it, but I have Linux on it. Just good that you got rid of it.

Melchior · Nov 15, 2024

last time I ever install the Alienware Command Center...

376 Windows reg entries related to the AWCC app.. and drivers.. bummer...\
I may just buy a new keyboard at some point... its not worth all this trouble...

AWCC Installation Manager .exe, I found it installed even though I don't use it anymore...
