One big disappointment when I upgraded from W2K to Windows 7 was that
InCtrl5, an old installation tracking program from PC Magazine, no
longer worked. I like its simplicity and lack of pretension about
"fixing" anything. It just records changes in files and the registry. Is
there such a program that is Windows 7 (64) compatible?

I use Total Uninstall ( but it's not free ).

You may have missed this in PC Magazine's forums.

Read that forum thread, did the changes, but the program still fails
to work for me. I feel that somehow the environment does not get changed
properly. Anyway inctrl5 ends up with everything "greyed out", and I can't
type in any field. I'm running windows7 Ultimate.
Any thoughts?

No, except that forum thread makes it too complicated. I am running 64
bit Windows 7 Ultimate, and all I had to do was right click on
InCtrl5.exe, select "Troubleshoot compatibility," and walk through the
steps. After that, I could successfully run InCtrl5 like any other program.
