You can actually build the Installshield MSI from the software installer on
a VM and make a log of the changes. I did this in '02 when I did some
migrations I believe it is a flat text file.

Do you want to compare snapshots of the system before and after an
install?
SpyMe is pretty good for that.

Or if you want to find registry settings then RegShot can do that:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/

or Registry Report (I have not used this yet, read about it on ghacks.net)

Otherwise, like Bugbear already said, System Monitor from Sysinternals
one of the best real-time monitors.

Good luck!

Not really the same but may help a little I have used sandboxie on
occassion
to see where files get dumped there is a folder that emulated the windows
file system and stores files that get added when software runs or is
installed it outs them under root c:/sandboxie/(drive letter). May or
maynot
help in your case.

Hello all,

I am looking for a tool that logs all file and registries
touched/modified/added when installing an application. Mainly for
Windows
but if one exists for other OS that is a plus. I checked out Install
Watch
but it only supports Windows 98 SE :P

Best Regards,
Jorge Orchilles
