How do I identify Limited-User Access (LUA) bugs in an app?
Posted by Doug Ireton on April 12th, 2006


We have an in-house application which currently requires local Administrator
rights to run. I need to identify why it requires Admin rights so we can fix
the Limited-user access (LUA) bugs and de-elevate the users to Users.

What tool(s) can I run to identify file system, registry access issues and
hardware access issues? Is there something easier that SysInternals FileMon
and RegMon?

I would like to turn on the tool, excercise the app and then view a report
with the LUA issues listed.

Thanks...

Though I am not a developer and have not used it myself check the link below on
the Application Compatibility Toolkit. Also when using regmon and filemon it
helps to use the filter function to highlight entries you are looking for such
as access denied. --- Steve
