    Program To Track Software Installation?

    I remember seeing a discussion somewhere on these boards that described a program that would somehow log a list of files and their directories as they were copied during a software installation. I filed the post away in "Z:\Gray Matter" for future reference, however a system malfunction (read: aging mind) has rendered this drive useless. Two hours of searching and I'm still stumped.

    Can someone post a link or something?

    Thanks very much,
    Jim

    You didn't mention your operating system, so here is one provided by Microsoft for W2k.

    That does exactly what you want.

    And then there's Ashampoo Uninstaller: http://www.ashampoo.com/products/0003/

    It also logs everything that's added, altered and removed during an install, but on top of that, it also allows you to reverse everything when you want to uninstall again.

    I appreciate the responses you guys.

    oldhermit:
    Sorry about that, I'm running Win 98se. I wonder if the Win 2K installation monitor would work with Win 98 as well? I'm going to try it anyway, I'll post back the results.

    Kleinkramer:
    Your username came up about a hundred times during the search I mentioned in the first post! I was hoping you would see this post, as you obviously are quite knowledgeble in this area. It sounds like Ashampoo Uninstaller is exactly what I was looking for, I'm going to get it right now.

    Thanks again you guys,
    Jim
