Ok kind of an advanced subject, but do any of you know any software or anything that can monitor registry input from an installer program, and then replicate the changes onto a second OS on the system (IE dual boot)

Or a program which can easily grab the registry input from an installer and make a .reg file?

The reason I ask is I'm planning on doing a dual boot of XP pro 64 bit, and Vista home premium 64 bit on my new laptop, and I want to make it so I can run certain programs on both platforms from the same location on the hard drive (partition C will be XP, D will be Vista, and E will be for programs) with out having to do it entirely by hand, or doing install overs (install on one platform, delete the data, and then install on the other platform).

So basically I'm looking for a shortcut, something that can create the necessary registry changes across both OS when a program is installed to one OS, or automatically make a reg file.

Worse comes to worst I can just use process monitor and manually make the reg files (or just do the install over trick). Oh and ya i know this can be troublesome with games and save information, but I do have file replication programs so no big deal (assuming I can't change the reg file for the game to point to a new save location).
