how to find out who installed software

[Guest]

I'm trying to figure out who installed Firefox on Windows 2003 server. There
are few users with administrative privileges to that server. Firefox is
listed in Ad/Remove programs. Is there a way to determine who installed the
software?
Thank you.

Maybe displaying the owner of the Firefox program directory can reveal
that. Try DIR /Q or use the GUI (Explorer).

If Firefox installs via the Windows Installer service, there should be
an entry in the Event Log.
