setup capture tools

Hello, are there any freeware tools out there that let you do a down and dirty setup capture?  I need to run a setup capture on some Windows XP workstations.   I need to be able to capture what changed in the registry when I modify IE settings.

Thanks

  • Thanks, I downloaded this but I don't see any option to run a Setup Capture It wants either an .MSI file as the "setup file location" or it wants an .XML file for the "recipe file location"

    I just want to take a Snapshot of my C: drive, make a few changes, and then take an After snapshot and see what the difference is. Can this tool do that? - mhsl808 10 years ago
  • You can probably "trick" it into doing that. Just point it to ANY setup.exe at the first step (you might could even create a blank text doucment and just save it as setup.exe). Then after it takes a snapshot, make your changes, and then tell it not to run the setup. I haven't really used it that way, but I would imagine it's possible. - BHC-Austin 10 years ago
  • try with "InstallRite" tool. and there is another freeware to generate MSI (speedpackaging.com) - vjay 10 years ago

If your just looking at registry changes, have a look at RegShot, it can scan for "changed"  files as well, but its main function is registry changes.
I highly recommened it.

You can use EMCO Software for 30 days which is easy to use.

I've used InstallWatch many, many times for this task.
