phhtt on CTRL+J.
A means I use to create a track record of installs is, well to begin with,
90% of my archive bits are off, before starting, I do a zip of all
non-archived files, resetting the bit as I go. After doing the install, I
do a: DIR *.* /S /B /AA >(program.INS). If I ever want to deinstall, I
invoke a micro program which reads the INS file and deletes the files.
Ok, it's a pain, it kludgy, look at what I was using.
