Tiny does do more than ZA but it is a little more difficult to get used too.
It is more configurable so one would expect a little more complexity.
However OutPost does more than both of them, Is easier to understand as to
it's windows interface and has much better support. Uninstalls are clean and
problem free.
During the early Beta period, I uninstalled to clean install updates and it
went perfectly.
They have a free version and a Pro version that has capability to create
multiple configurations.
Try it. get it here www.agnitum.com
