Thanks dansimp for the correct answer.

Answer 3

Hi dansimp, this is for Win8 & 7 64-bit I guess? I cannot run it on windows XP, giving me some error that  this is not a 32 bit application. Where can I find the old xperf or a 32-bit edition of wprui?

Answer 4

WPT installs the MSI file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Windows Performance Toolkit\Redistributables\" use the WPTx86-x86_en-us.msi and perform an admin install, copy the folder to XP and run it their to capture the trace.

Answer 5

I tried extracting this WPTx86-x86_en-us.msi, but when I tried to run xperf, it is saying not a valid win32 application even though it's the 32-bit version.

I confirmed it's the 32-bit version by running filever.exe xperf.exe and it returned the following (W32i means 32-bit)
