ApplicationWatch™ monitors your computer as you execute an application or run an
installation and determines which .DLL, .OCX, and .EXE files were accessed. It then adds
these files to a new installation. You can use this tool for informational purposes or to
facilitate the creation of a new installation.

Application Watch cannot monitor 16-bit applications.
