Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but didn't know where else to try.

I have an windows installer file (.MSI) and I need to find out what it is installing. Even though
it can be uninstalled I cannot find a log file or audit trail of what it did. Does anyone know how
to determine what this file installs?

Thanks,
Tony
