My CD App lets useres select from a list (dbf file/Grid) of programs they want to install. They can select several at a time. I'm using the WaitForSingleObject to install the programs. I'd like to add fields for the date and path when they were installed.
Is there any way to tell what the user did ? ie, canceled the install or selected a different directory. Is there a way to see if any new directories were created ? I thought about searching through the registry, or Start Menu.
Any suggestions ?

=/ that's gonna be fun.
Well i would suggest going the registry way, b/c some users remove entries from the start menu but do not touch the registy. I assume you would want to export the registy and the filter it for programs you are looking for. Or you could find a place (like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) and export that and search through it b/c most of software installed leaves an impression there and then you can go from there.
