Is there a history for regsvr32 stored in the event log?

Question

I am trying to submit a bug report to a project and I need to look up what dll was registered with windows today to include it in the report. (Running another program that registered a DLL fixed the program I was originally using and I want to let the developer know.)

Is there any place in the event log to see a history of registered and unregistered DLLs?

Answer 1

regsvr32 inserts entries into the registry. If you run a diff between the registry as it was before and after the regsvr32, you would be able to find out what exactly was registered.

ProcMon is also a tool that you can use to monitor registry changes
