Using installer Cleaner

[John Doue]

Sorry, my initial post mentionned mistaken Registry cleaner. I meant

Installer Cleaner.



Installer Cleaner is a neat tool when the standard uninstall process fails.



I am wondering if there is a way to track changes made to the registry

while removing a given entry with this Installer Cleaner?

If you mean the windows installer cleanup utility, read the caveats before

using the tool; which in any case only removes the installer entries, and

not the actual program

I have been using it for years, but would like to know more about what

which particular entries it removes.



The idea being, I'd like to be able to remove a given entry, install a

new program and then restore the removed entries. This can be useful to

troubleshoot installations.



Ideally, I would like to have a long of what it does when it removes a

specific entry.
