Does anyone know of any software that will allow me to:

See whats removed with nlite - so i can do compnent by component removal and see what gets removed (for notes <updating> etc)

See if possible what entries get modified - like layout file etc.

it doesn't have to be one program.

Thanks in advance,

It will probably be an overkill, but you can try SVN (subversion), for example TortoiseSVN.

Thanks i will try this.

Also just thought i used to have a program that would copy all the files:

So say i removed calculator using nlite, the program would copy calc.exe to another location (i called changed) yet when i looked in the i386 folder calc.exe was gone so nlite still did its job and so did the program.

I was wondering if anyone has ever had/heard/seen a program like that?

Thanks again,
