Good news! We has discontinued our phpBB forum and moved support tickets to the GitHub issue tracker. GitHub issues is nowadays the best way to deal with bugs, feature requests and technical support problems.

The CrystalIDEA website was completely revamped with a fresh new look. The cleaner user interface should be easier to read, and responsive for small screens, making it much easier to access the information you need.

When you’re browsing our new https site, you should see a small lock icon next to the site’s name, as seen below in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox:

Uninstall Tool 3.5 now supports removal of Microsoft Store Apps (also known as “Universal Windows Platform apps” or “Metro Apps”) on Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.

Current versions of AnyToISO (3.6.3) and Macs Fan Control (1.2.1) for Mac are compatible with OS X 10.6.x (which is about 7% of our OS X website users today, 12 Feb 2015).

The first old school way - using of registry and file system snapshots before and after installation, then comparison of these 2 snapshots. The second, the one that is used in Uninstall Tool - real-time monitoring using Install Tracker (Installation Monitor). This is the most advanced and modern way and here’s why:

DMG is Mac OS X native disk image format while virtual machines (VmWare, Parallels or VirtualBox) are able to mount ISO images only. With AnyToISO program you can convert DMG to ISO and mount the resulting ISO image to your virtual machine (running Mac OS X).

Starting from version 3.5 AnyToISO is able to extract (and convert to ISO) XAR archives. This format is not widely used on Windows but can be frequently found in macOS for software installation packages.
