Q: Hi,
Can anybody recommend a good program to install monitor for WinXP?! I want one that you can perform the installation, close it, and run it after installing a comparison, not one that automatically does everything and continues to run during the installation process of the program, because this conflict could give I think. What is the best (free?) Program to install winxp to monitor the work completely and correctly? Does!
Thanks!
Mike.
Re:Are there any free install monitor programs for WinXP that are just as good as InCtrl5?!
Re:INCTRL is great for monitoring installations.
Re:I am still using an older version of Windows right now and always used a program install monitor to make sure I could make a clean unintall when necessary. Is it perhaps so that with WinXP you don't need such a program anymore, like does WinXP remove program *completely* when uninstalling or will you still need a good program monitor in order to be sure nothing is left on your system when you uninstall something. The one I use for my older OS also made logs of installations, which was usefull to see what really happenend on your system when you install some program. Does WinXP perhaps do all this now or is it still a good idea to use an install monitor program?! Too bad they charge for InCtrl5, aren't there any other good ones which are free?!!
Re:In the past I've used a program called InCtrl (now in version 5) from PC Magazine. Unfortunately, it seems that they now charge you to download their software. You can read a review here (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,9411,00.asp) or download it here (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,25126,00.asp).
Re:Well, this does not answer your question, but I haven't found the need for such a program with WinXP.
If a program causes a problem, an uninstall or system restore has worked fine for me.
