About NanaRun

NanaRun is a Windows utility for application runtime environment customization, published as a GitHub repository. The project is organized into separate console and SDK components alongside sub-projects, two of which are documented on the homepage. MinSudo is a lightweight POSIX-style sudo implementation that lets users run elevated console applications from non-elevated consoles; it elevates through UAC rather than a credential cache, a custom Windows service, or an IPC infrastructure. SynthRdp is a Hyper-V Enhanced Session proxy service that redirects RDP over the VMBus pipe to an RDP over TCP socket, allowing Enhanced Session support for Windows 8 and earlier guest systems as well as non-Windows guests.

MinSudo supports Windows Vista RTM (Build 6000.16386) or later on x86 (32-bit and 64-bit) and ARM (64-bit). SynthRdp supports Windows XP RTM (Build 2600) or later on the same platforms, and its quick-start instructions require placing SynthRdp.exe in %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32 and running install and configuration commands from an elevated Command Prompt. Pricing is not stated, and the homepage excerpt does not detail every listed component.

Key features

  • MinSudo runs elevated console apps from non-elevated Windows consoles
  • MinSudo can run as System, TrustedInstaller, or with all privileges

Best for: Windows users and administrators who need to elevate console applications or extend Hyper-V Enhanced Session support to unsupported guest systems.
Good for
  • MinSudo elevates through UAC and does not use a credential cache, a homemade Windows service, or IPC infrastructure
  • Documented system requirements are given for MinSudo and SynthRdp, including supported OS builds and platforms
  • Both console and SDK components are listed as separate parts of the project
Watch out for
  • Windows only, with per-component minimum OS versions such as Vista RTM for MinSudo and XP RTM for SynthRdp
  • SynthRdp quick start requires copying the executable into System32 and running install and configuration commands as administrator
  • The homepage excerpt documents MinSudo and SynthRdp in detail but not the other listed components

It acts as a Hyper-V Enhanced Session proxy service, redirecting RDP over the VMBus pipe to an RDP over TCP socket, since Hyper-V Enhanced Session is an RDP connection over VMBus.
