Name: MSNCoreFun Preview(DirectUI Element Viewer)
Author: TheSteve
Description: This is a pre-release version (beta so to speak) of the new MSNCoreFun program. New features include element selection and compatibility with the latest Windows Live Applications (those using uxcore.dll). The program also in certain conditions allows viewing elements of non-Windows Live DirectUI based applications such as Windows Explorer and the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet. This version has removed the list selector for windows and has replaced it with a drag and drop finder tool. This change is due to changes in the way windows are structure in the various Windows Live applications.
Requirements: This time all needed run time libraries have been statically linked in to the executable.
Known Issues:

  • Data contexts are currently not supported.

  • Dumping DirectUI data from applications that do not link to uxcore.dll currently requires that system debugging symbols be located in c:\symbols
  • 64 bit applications are currently not supported. (32 bit DLLs do not play nicely with 64 bit applications.)
