If setup is based on Windows Installer, and it actually succeeds, you can be sure that all DLLs, EXEs etc. you want to install, are installed.
This just leaves the question whether you made a design error, eg. you forgot to include a file.
Try Dependency Checker (in Windows Resource Kits), which shows all -statically linked- DLLs of an EXE or DLL. Run it on the target system, and it also shows missing DLLs.
DC does not show dynamically linked DLLs, OCXs etc. For this, try NTFileMon from http://www.sysinternals.com which shows any file access by any program on the system.

Is there any other utility other than "Installation Monitor" to test whether the setup has executed properly
