I'd use one of the packaging applications out there (Wise etc). They take a before/after snapshot of your system (which you usually use to create an MSI, but you could just as easily use as a checklist to ensure that everything's gone)

We want to test to see how cleanly the agent is removed after uninstalling it. Does it remove all the registry entries, all the files , all the registered DLLs, etc.... Anyone have suggestions for tools to use? I've thought of using WinDiff to compare pre and post for the registry, but not sure about the other stuff.
