Microsoft Standard User Analyzer

I see that Microsoft has released its Standard User Analyzer that “helps developers and IT professionals diagnose issues that would prevent a program from running properly as a standard user.”

First impression: Binary-level information about the resources an app accesses that a non-admin user wouldn’t have access to. Simple interface, lots of information, scanty documentation.

I’ve just played with it a bit, but it’s amazing just how many violations it finds. Be aware, however, that it uses Microsoft’s Application Verifier, so you’ll need to download and install that as well.

Looks interesting, but it’s not the very cool LUA BugLight that Aaron Margosis has been working on.

I’ll post more after I play with the tool more.
