Hi all,

I'm not sure if I understand the possibilities on how to use Fiddler. From what I can read (and can see from my monitoring results) it monitors all web browser traffic. But what if I want to monitor the behaviour of a setup.exe file (or install.com). I want to check if it downloads any files, and if so, what files and from what URL.

Can that be done? Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

If you want to monitor the behavior of a certain process you can use the Process Filter functionality. It is labeled as "Any Process" and is located in the main toolbar. Just drag and drop the icon on the desired process to start tracking its traffic.
