The FAQ on the ccCleaner sites claims that wiping free space on an solid state drive is useless, and will do nothing but reduce the life of the drive. Has eraser been tested on modern SSD drives?

I could not get eraser in the context menu on my 64-bit laptop. I wasted a great deal of time installing and uninstaling, using shellexview (which could not see eraser, in my case) and everything else. What finally worked for me was choosing "instal on local hard drive" rather than the default...

Huh? I uninstalled 6.0.7, then tried two of the "nightly builds", then re-installed 6.0.7, described as "stable," when the problem failed to disappear. As far as I can see I'm out of options. One has to put a time limit on these things.

The most frequent error appears in a bubble from the lower right on the task bar, say "(filename & location) has completed with errors." That bubble disappears when I try to right or left click on it. The file I tried to erase is still there, untouched. Somehow it feels like my installation...
