Is there any software, or method, available to allow one to decompile and installer or uninstall.exe program?
I would like to see the list of changes the installer or uninstaller make to the system.
decompile uninstall.exe or installer

The FAQ answers your question.
We do not support this. It is up to the creator of the installer to decide whether he or she wants to make the script available.Take a look at the following recent thread for installer watchers:
Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.
Thanks for the reply.
I did read the FAQ item you mentioned.
But I thought perhaps there was a 3rd-party utility available.
I did find a few methods to allow one to view installer contents.

But I'm particularly interested in reading the uninstaller.exe contents.
Is there a similar decompiler available?
thanks again.

well - you can extract some dll or other pieces - but not the script itself - thats encoded.
personally im glad theres no decompiler available as it helps to protect my work and the work of others.
what a fortune - so md5-hashes and serial checks are not open to public.
