Finding the steps of an installation

[il barbi]

In order to install a packet in BartPE environment it is necessary to have
the "plugin" file, that is a .inf file reporting all steps of the
installation, namely the list of the files installed and in which
directories and the list of the keys to store in Windows registry. Many
plugins have already been written for packets of common use. Now I'd like to
try to build the plugin file for a packet I'm interested in; fortunately the
provider has listed the files and I've retrieved the directory they've been
istalled in - then I have only to find which keys have been inserted in the
Registry. I've got a copy of the Registry before and after the installation
and I have only to determine the difference...
Any ideas?
More generally does it exist some tool to determine the "plugin" file for a
packet? Perhaps from the installation log?

InstallWatch Pro (freeware).
After installing InstallWatch, take the system snapshot, install the program
you want to "watch".
InstallWatch will list all files and registry keys--not only "added", but
also any files and keys "modified" by the install.
