It might be easier to do a static analysis afterwards. Write a program that 
enumerates all the Component guids in the Component table and then use 
MsiGetComponentPath to report where the file or registry item is installed.  Or 
somewhat more complicated, use the File and Registry tables and use their 
component references to report each file or registry entry that's installed (if 
in fact it was installed).

Subject: [WiX-users] Possible to create an installation report?

I've got a customer asking me what files and registry values my installer
creates. I'm thinking of something like MakeMSI's installation
report<http://makemsi-manual.dennisbareis.com/sample.htm>.
I understand that a report like this isn't that valuable because of
conditional logic and differences between different operating systems, but
I'd like to satisfy this request.

I remember coming across a tool that would record an installation and
generate a report, but after 30 min. or so I can't seem to dig it up
anywhere. Any suggestions?
