I just had a developer from a customer complaining that the trace parser needed administrator rights. Obviously, in line with Microsoft, I will never give the password to that developer. After deliberation with Microsoft, there were two possible options: 1. Create a new DEV box on which the developer can have the admin password (NOT in line with Microsoft) 2. Let the developer create a VM in which he has administrator rights. Why is it, that if you install an out-of-the-box DEV box, it has a trace parser installed, but the developer using the DEV-box will never be able to use it.

From somebody else who helped me:
cmd:
SET __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics Trace Parser\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Tracing.TraceParser.exe"
PowerShell:
$env:__COMPAT_LAYER='RUNASINVOKER'
&'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics Trace Parser\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Tracing.TraceParser.exe'

The developer VMs all share the same environment type/topology, that is why Trace parser exists on all instances. You would need a developer VM with administrator rights (in private Azure subscription) or a local VM (Downloadable VHD) to use trace parser. We do not have plans to allow trace parser for users who are not local administrators on the VM.
