This software records changes made during installation/removal of software/hardware or configuration changes on your PC with precision.
InstallWatch is an exceptional software that offers precise documentation of changes made to your PC when you install/remove software or hardware, or make configuration changes. This software is designed to take 'snapshots' of your INI files, Windows Registry and other files and folders whenever you make a significant system change that you would like to document like a program installation, removal or configuration.
By comparing this 'before' and 'after' state information, InstallWatch accurately locates all additions, deletions, or modifications made to your system. Furthermore, this program stores the 'delta' information in a database, giving you the flexibility to print detailed reports or export HTML files for Internet display or REG files for automated Registry modification. Additionally, you can create 'Install Kits' that enable quick software and configuration distribution to other PCs.
It is worth noting that the program's brute-force 'snapshot' technique is what accurately identifies changes made to your system, but the process can be time-consuming, especially if you're installing multiple programs and your computer has large hard drives and registry. However, the 'professional' version offers reduced overheads, allowing you to specify which drives, directories and portions of the registry to scan.
In summary, InstallWatch is an invaluable tool that provides accurate and detailed information about changes made to your PC, ensuring that you can restore your system to its previous state if need be. Additionally, the software offers helpful features such as the ability to create 'Install Kits,' which can simplify the process of software distribution across multiple PCs.
