GPA on Windows 8 Store apps: how to trace capture and frame capture?

Following http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/igpa-getting-started-guide-for-windows, I can run "Analyze Application..." and "System Analyzer" fine but "System Analyzer" does not allow me to save a trace capture file nor frame capture file (the buttons appear grayed out).  Is this a known limitation of working with Windows Store 8 apps, or is something wrong with my setup?

Hello,

This is a known limitation of using Intel GPA with Windows 8 Store Apps, as documented in this KB article:
   http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-gpa-tip-windows-8-store-applications-workaround

The only workaround at this time is to convert the Store App to a "desktop" app -- I don't know your particular situation, but hopefully this is an option that's available to you.

Regards,

Neal
