So this is a very useful tool that I like, but I find some things frustrating about it.
Once you start and the files are downloaded and extracted, you have three options:
1) install
2) open the extracted files folder
3) make a backup installer of the extracted files
But it only allows you to do ONE of them!
I would like to be able to do more than one (and an option I would like isn't there). But once you chose one, NVCleanstall does it and then deposits you on a page where the only option is to close, and it then wipes the temp files immediately when it does.
Even if you did backup the extracted files, running NVCleanstall again won't seem to let you use them as the source, anyway. So unless you dug into the buried temp file where NVCleanstall puts the Nvidia original and copied it out before it deletes it (which it seems to do automatically and without notice once it's done auto extracting the files, which makes it tricky to find and copy manually before it does that) it will waste time and data downloading it all over again. Then waste more time extracting it again, when it already extracted the files at least once. Further, iirc, it puts the Nvidia original in a different path folder than the extracted files (I could be misremembering this).
So I would really like the option to back up the Nvidia original installer, as well as maybe make the NVCleanstall backup version of the drivers, as well as install, without each option negating the ability to chose the others before closing and restarting the process from the very beginning.
