App: Regshot
Description: Takes a snapshot of the registry and local filesystem before and after a given change (like running a portable app) and compares them for changes.
This is a beta of an officially released app. But as some folks have had problems with the release version, I'm hoping the beta will fix some issues. It's a dual mode 32-/64-bit app. It will install to the RegshotPortable directory just like the official release does.

Seems to me the issues I've been having with Regshot have been fixed.
New beta version available: http://code.google.com/p/regshot/downloads/list
I think that's a different builder. Possibly a fork. The main one is still on SourceForge and is still at the build we package here.
Side note: Is it worth considering updating the main track of RegShot to this new one since the old one has stability issues?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Quote from the googlecode page:
"This is a mirror repository of the original project providing x86 and x64 versions built with WDK (you can use MSVC 2010 or even GCC if you like). Every change is committed in the SourceForge repository."
The owner of the googlecode project is XmikhosR, who is also a current and active dev on the sourceforge project.
Accordingly, I'd say it's safe to switch to this build.
[EDIT] fixed iPhone's over-eager autocorrect change in what I wrote.
Are you sure it's the same dev or just someone on Google Code with the same name? As there seems to be no version parity at all between the two projects, they seem like different efforts. There's no point to offering two different downloads on two different services with two entirely different version numbering schemes.

It's the same person, I can tell you that for sure.
The revision is only different since the googlecode project started as a different project but eventually every change was merged to the SF repo. Now it's only kept as a mirror svn with WDK builds as the main ones.
From what I know, an svn sync will probably happen in the future so that the repositories are in sync and so will the revision numbers be.
He is a developer of several apps that are released here, officially or in the testing forum. Those two are the same guy, he is often on Freenode. And IIRC, Zach Thibeau knows him.
That was about his credibility, though I'm not sure why the version number discrepancy in the project.
My posts are old and likely no longer relevant.
He's helped Zach on PChat, I do know.
a simple search confirmed it in https://portableapps.com/node/26756#comment-170790
Though I believe I remember something else from IRC. I have a vague memory of them two chatting about some other projects, but searching the internet revealed nothing - it was not in a publicly logged channel.

Regshot doesn't play nice and throws an error at me every time I ask it to compare the shots.
The stable version worked fine on the regular XP's I used at the library, but neither seem to cooperate on my laptop.
Scenario: I run regshot from my portable HD Drive Z, I save output file to my desktop C:\UserName\Desktop\Filename.html All works good. I close Regshot I reopen it Default save location becomes Z:\UserName\Desktop I go into the regshot.ini file Change Z to C same results... Look at the applauncher and see that it does a file write from last pal drive to current pal drive. Will not save my location nor allow me to even hard code it. Maybe I should be saving to the PA Drive ? Rather not as so easy to find on desktop and more convenient. Probably not a bug but me thinks the file write is not wuite right?
