Hello,

Is there a way to do a pre/post installation diff under Windows as to find out
exactly what the installer did to the system?

there are certainly snapshot/monitor tools for Windows that hook into the
system to record filesystem and registry changes during software installation:

...

There are gazillion information resources about this topic ... Google is your
friend.

Under wine we would simply copy the wineprefix directory as a baseline and then
run a post installation wineprefix diff.

While this is certainly doable, be aware there is no support for bugs reported
with these "manual fixup" installations ('winetricks' being the exception).
Bug reports without proper installer run (msi, installshield, ...) will be
usually rejected/ignored.

Regards
