Looking for a 'specific' monitor!!

[m4tty]

Greetings one and all

I am hoping that someone can help out here, I am installing some software and trying to capture the files that are copied across from a network share during the install. I have been googling for various monitoring utils but really need someone who can recommend to me a utility that will enable me to monitor exactly what files are copied from a network path that I supply to it. I have tried Filemon which is a good utility however filtering out unwanted info is a nightmare and I am hoping there is something that can maybe simplify the information, I would use Wise normally but this is crashing when finalising the captured info into an installation - all i need is a list of files that are copied from the path I give it, Is it too much to ask???

Please let me know if I haven't made myself clear and thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Try to search through the Freeware System Tools at Snapfiles.

(and be amazed about the load of freeware available).

<sigh> still no joy, maybe if anyone knows where i can find a list of files that IIS v5.1 requires, I basically need to provide windows with those files for a silent install - I've written a script incorporating sysocmgr and just need to adjust the registry for windows setup to the location of the reqd files, now i just need the files themselves...

Cheers

this may be the long way round to get there, but Inctrl might help. (from PCMag Utils)

It is a system state tracker that monitors and reports all changes to a pc during an install. So, if you can manually clean install IIS on an empty pc, it will track all the files installed and where they went.

you basically start inctrl, point it to the setup.exe (or use the option to start tracking/monitoring without specifying the setup file) and start the installation. When the installation is finished you let inctrl know, and it then compiles a report of ALL (registry, files) changes that occurred during the install.

Hope that helps!
