  Or, at least, they say it does.  Quite often, it just needs
permission to selected directories and/or registry branches.

  LUA BugLight.

  It will wrap the program in a set of shims and then monitor it to
see what it needs, and report the results to you.

  You can do the same thing with Process Monitor, but sifting through
the results can be tedious.  LUA BugLight does most of the hard work
for you for most things.
