I did a MBAM scan of FreeFileSync and it found PUP called OpenCandy.Generic

Just out of curiosity, I extracted the setup.exe file with 7-Zip. Nothing too exciting.

Is it possible to use a debugger or hex editor to see what files an installer will put on a computer?

According to Wikipedia, the files that will be dropped on the system are: OCComSDK.dll and OCSetupHlp.dll

normally when dealing with suspect files i'll create an isolated vm, then use procmon to watch what it does. windiff will also tell you what it did.

just looking at files that get added doesn't give you the entire picture of what malware is changing.

option b is generally safest which is just delete the suspect file. there are builtin file sync utilities in windows.
