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)

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.
