Informs users of changes made by installing different programs
InstallWatch is a Windows-based filesystem comparator tool, able to compare the contents of your filesystem and system registry between two points in time.
It's probably most often used to tell the user what changes a software installation inflicts on a system, but testers can find several other uses for the tool. For example, you can find out exactly what your software's installation process does to your system, and compare this to the expected behavior of the installer.
You can verify that the uninstall process removes everything it's supposed to, and no more. And for any kind of testing, you can check the "background" -- see if your software introduced unexpected changes on the disk during the course of testing.
