,release information

The Smart File Advisor bundled with the Alchohol 52% FE installer works in conjunction with the Alchohol 52% FE, making it difficult to uninstall.

This post notes the steps to remove Smart File Advisor after installing Alchohol 52% FE.

What is Alcohol 52% FE?

Alcohol 52% Free Edition (FE) is software that has functions to create an image file of CD /DVD, create a virtual drive, and mount an image file on a virtual drive to emulate an optical drive.

Alchohol 52% FE is compatible with copyguard media and is a version that can be used free of charge.

Smart File Advisor

Smart File Advisor is software published on Filefacts.net.

Smart File Advisor operates as a front end software that searches the extension database registered in Filefacts.net.

The download site for the Alcohol 52% FE is filefacts.com, so it is the same domain as the Smart File Advisor.

The following URL is the download site of Alcohol 52% FE, but since it is judged that Avira Browser Safety is a malware site, please be careful when accessing it.

Smart File Advisor

From one time onwards, installation of the Smart File Advisor has become mandatory as a condition of free use.

It is the beginning of the bargain sale. (꒪⌓꒪)

Smart File Advisor is checked out and grayed out on the component selection screen, so installation can not be avoided.

In addition, uninstalling the Smart File Advisor uninstalls the Alcohol 52% FE at the same time.

You need some tricks to uninstall Smart File Advisor.

Steps to install Alchohol 52% FE

Complete the installation of Alchohol 52% FE first, because you can not delete the Smart File Advisor after completing the installation of Alchohol 52% FE.

Recommended product

While the Alcohol 52% FE downloads the downloader, the installation screen of the recommended product (affiliated software) is displayed.

Mistake the installation of Alcohol 52% FE and click on "Accepted". Please be aware that the recommended product will be installed.

The recommended product at the time of verification was ByteFence (anti-malware).

Select "I will refuse" to avoid installation of recommended products.

Download and Run Download Manager

Alcohol 52% Free Edition-Filefacts.com
・ Downloader_for_Alcohol52_FE_2.0.0.3.9902.exe

There were three steps to the installer's download completion.
※ The number of steps depends on the installer.

Step.1: Confirmation screen

Click "Next" because there is no choice.

Step.2: ByteFence installation screen

It is an installation screen of anti-malware ByteFence.

It is not the installation screen of Alcohol 52% FE, so don't get it wrong. Click "I decline" to proceed.

Step.3: Installer download start

The download of the Alcohol 52% FE installer will begin.

After the download is complete, the setup wizard will start automatically.

Setup wizard

The troubled part of the setup wizard is probably an installation component.

Most of the options are not necessary if you just mount the locally stored image file on a virtual drive.

Smart File Advisor can not be unchecked, so you can only install it here. ('ω')

Choose Install Component

If you want to convert to Japanese, check Multi-Language Files.
I think that it is not necessary except it.

Multi-Language Files
iSCSI Service
ACID Wizard
Data-Type analyzer
Smart File Advisor (Required)
File Extention Management
Desktop Shortcut

After selecting the installation components, follow the installer's instructions to complete the installation.

Cancel setup wizard

You can cancel "Welcome to Setup Wizard".

The installer for Alcohol 52% FE is downloaded to the following folder.

File name is long because it has a hash value attached


folder	C:\Users\\Downloads
file name	Alcohol52_FE_2.0.3.9902_a6efb6c332c2b2a899ae81398dc68fa8.exe

Cancel resident setting of Smart File Advisor

Smart File Advisor is supposed to be resident when the computer starts.
You will not be resident if you remove the following bag.

Autostart Smart File Advisor when windows starts

Furthermore, since the version check process of Smart File Advisor resides in another process, let's stop it.

Since my PC has already uninstalled this process and can not verify it, I will skip the method of stopping and removing the version check process. ('ω')

Steps to remove Smart File Advisor

This procedure manipulates the registry.

Registry operation is at your own risk

Before operating the registry editor
Make a backup of the registry in case of unforeseen circumstances.

1. Start Registry Editor

PressWin＋R
Name: regedit

How to start Registry Editor: Scrap 2nd.

2. Search for the registry value Alcohol.exe

\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Alcohol.exe


default	C:\Program Files (x86)\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 52\Alcohol.exe
Path	C:\Program Files (x86)\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 52\

3. Change the default Path data

Change the displayed "Default", "Path" drive letter (C :).

This will prevent the uninstaller from identifying Alchohol 52% when uninstalling Smart File Advisor.

Example: Change to F drive
