Product Description:

Installer Observer is a program designed to aid a user in determining exactly what an installer has done to his or her computer. Installer Observer can discover all changes that an installer has made by essentially comparing before and after states of the system. From this comparison, Installer Observer locates all files that have been added, changed, or removed, and presents them to the user in a neat, comprehensible format.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed an error that caused the examination to be halted and a message to be displayed if a folder that had previously contained files was itself replaced by a file.
  • Fixed a problem that involved loading the data from a saved observations file while the Observations window was already open.
  • PPC version has minor user interface tweaks

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS Classic

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS 8.1 or higher
    5 MB RAM

not all photographs need to be sunshiny to be of value. i think yours (Zach) are kind of fascinating, actually...and i'm a photographer. :)

deserves a 10 star rating, NEVER installed anything without running this first. The closest equivalent in OS X that I have found is Uninstaller http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17138 it can't create "packages" though, at least not yet (released late 2002)

changing that photo at your website to something a little more positive looking? I mean, guy, you really look kind of spooky...and I don't know what the significance is of the photo on the bottom...but it is also kind of eerie. Just a suggestion from a fellow net surfer.
