Question for the IT Ufies by emlaabs 2006-03-24 11:39:52
A co-worker of mine is trying to determine what files are being installed by a software application so that he can determine if he can customize some of the messages showing. He is wondering if there is a snapshot tool that he could use to take a snapshot before and after the install and do a difference on the snapshots available.

The only thing I could think of is something that does disk imaging like Ghost, but I haven't used it and don't know if it does difference comparisons of images. Does anyone here have any recommendations?
