Hi,
Is there a way to fully uninstall evaluation copies? So I can reinstall them later.
If not where I can find the registry that indicates that a given shareware has been installed and cannot be reinstall?
Is there any installer that can install software and check all the registry keys and hive that were change or added? I guess that such an installer would be a layer between the shareware installer and Windows.
here's a schema of how this thing could work:
Shareware installer is installed by installer layer
Installer layer check everything the software does to the system
Use shareware
Uninstall shareware via the "installer layer"
Installer layer remove all the changes to the system
Reinstall shareware later without problem.
Thanx for any advice! |

There is software out there that can take a snapshot of your system exactly as it is, and monitor every little change. If you took a snapshot of your system just before you installed the shareware, one immediately after, and compared them you could probably then take one after an uninstall and see whats left behind...
I used to have the exact software you need, this was a few years ago, I cant remember its exact name. Im sure google could be your friend tho, there must be loads of things out the that do it these days!
Hope this helps |

| Ok, my AV tells me that there's a virus in the package. I'll run it under Linux to test it. |

You could always use Sandboxie to install your applications, I only learnt about it recently but its incredible 
You simple install Sandboxie and then run your program in a virtual "sandbox". The sandbox catches *all* system changes (eg, registry keys etc) and stores them in a virtual drive structure that you can wipe clean with a few clicks... meaning that *everything* the software has ever saved is removed.
I am currently using this to manage all the trial/evaluation/crapware software that I use - It keeps my computers nice and crapware free |
