I’m pretty certain that most administrators have heard of Fiddler Tool by Eric Lawrence who used to be a Microsoft Internet Explorer Program Manager but now working at Telerik.

Now how many times have you thought, there should be a simpler way of asking end-users to capture a Fiddler trace without installing the whole application.

Your question has been solved by them at:

FiddlerCap

Instructions per the website:

“

Download FiddlerCap
Close all instances of Internet Explorer.
Run the FiddlerCapSetup.exe file.
FiddlerCap will start automatically when the installer completes.
Unless your debugging buddy has asked you to skip this step:
- Inside FiddlerCap, click the Clear Cookies button and
  then the Clear Cache button.
Inside FiddlerCap, click the 1. Start Capture button.
A new Internet Explorer window will appear. Use Internet Explorer's address bar to go to whatever site you need and reproduce the problem.
To add a screenshot to your capture, press the +Screenshot button inside FiddlerCap.
Inside FiddlerCap, click the 2. Stop Capture button.
Click the 3. Save Capture button. Save the .SAZ file to your desktop.
Email the .SAZ file from your desktop to your debugging buddy.”
