We have an application that installs an agent on a server. 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
InstallWatch will show you changes to a system for file system and
registry. Basically, it performs a snapshot, installs the app, and then a
post-install analysis. I think you'd still have to manually check the
system after the uninstall though, so maybe not exactly what you need.

If I remember my 3.5 days change your controller to the Buslogic and
windows should find the controller and disk just fine without any extra
drivers.
Or load the floppy image that comes along with the server and it will

Jim, if you use the VMware tool it will ask you if you want to resize
the disks. You simply enter the size that you want and it will make it
so, no other adjustment needed.

Are you sure Jim isn't correct?
The disc volume file (.vmdk) is expanded, but I don't believe the
filesystem (NTFS logical volume) within in it is extended, no?
This is akin to imaging a machine on to a larger hard drive... it then
needs to have the NTFS volume expanded, correct?
-sc
Yes, the volume is expanded, but the actual partition on the drive
remains the same. This is the expected behavior.
Next, you use a partition resizing utility to expand that partitin to
fill the drive. I use a Gparted live cd, which is free. Someone else
