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.
