Would it be possible to build a tool that runs through a series of
permission-checks, tries to grab some shared-memory, write to files in
the appropriate folders etc. and then shows the name of any process
interfering? Half the problem is that whenever someone has
Windows-related difficulties there's no standard tools we can use to
diagnose.
