A rather prominent feature of TrackWinstall is its capability to track changes across reboots; it also offers a dual mode for file system checking -- by time stamp or file hash (MD5) -- and a (convenient for scripting) console version on top.
Be forewarned that TrackWinstall's webpage (http://www.withopf.com/tools/trackwinstall/) is in German, but the first link on it offers to translate it via Google; on launching, the program will default to an English interface and online help.
