Can someone recommend a piece of software that can monitor writes to the registry? Ideally, I'd like to be able to see what has changed before/after installing an application.

Thanks!

Regmon will do this, and do it very well:

and/or regshot:

Thanks guys, I also found filewatch but it isn't freeware.

total uninstall, very nice piece of software.

InstallWatch from epsilon squared is very good you can export before and after install registry files.
