Utility that records everything that is installed

I'm looking for a utility that will track everything that happens when an
application is installed. What files are written, what registry entries are
made, etc.  I had such a utility many years ago, but I can't seem to find
it.  I find a lot of keyloggers when I search in google, but that's not what
I'm looking for.  Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Bill

Somewhat old as it has not been revised for a long time,
it was freeware but now I think you need to subscribe.

WOW that utility is from 2000 and doesn't list XP as a supported OS.  I
remembered the applicaiton I was using but I the company doesn't see to make
the product any longer. It was called InstallMonitor 2.0 from Prism
Micosystems (www.prismmicrosys.com)  Any other utilities??

I still run it from time to time on my XP computers, no problems reported as
it still works.
But if you can find something newer and better go for it.

Regmon will monitor all registry change
Bill Board - 22 May 2008 17:53 GMT
We use Regmon
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896652.aspx) and it works
fine, but I was wanting something that watches what files are write and can
provide a more comprehensive uninstall.
