Windows XP Registry Files Differential
I have an application that has written a value to the registry and is
preventing reinstallation of the app.
There is no support for it from the original company that provided it.
I want to move to a clean machine, backup the registry to a file, then
install the offending app and make another backup file from the
registry.
I then want to compare the two registry files to see what is the
difference in them and that should tell me what the offending app added
to the registry.
How can I do a compare to the two files and get the results in English?
A binary compare utility will show the byte differences, but how do I
translate that into something usable like the regedit utility would
show?
