I need some kind of Utility were it can take a snap shot of my
directory in Systems32 file. Then we have to install a program then after the
installation run the utility again were it takes then snap shots then it compares
before and after and tells you what the difference is.
Does anyone know about this Utility?

Do this command from whatever directory you want to diff:
dir /s > diff.txt
then again after your install
dir /s > diff2.txt
Then get a diffing program like this one:
http://winmerge.org/
Open up the files with that and it will tell you the differences between them.
I know there are programs that are made to find diffs. I think one was called install watch, but I can't find it now.

That's the site I found when I searched for it :/ Our testers used it (to catch us trying to sneak new files on
), not me.
I just confirmed with an old tester buddy of mine... yes that is what they use
diffing off the commandline is cooler though...
