Vista and DEP

[linder]

Hello,

If you can't debug your (Visual Basic 6?) application on Vista (and other UAC-aware systems) then the only possible solution to fix the bug in your program is to review the complete source codes and try to find the culprit.

But if there is really no other way to fix the bug, you can try the following. But it is NOT RECOMMENDED to do this! And no guarantee that it works!

You can try to add your application to the DEP exclusion list via a "secret" registry setting.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\%_SB_INSTA LLDIR%\<YourAppHere>.exe, DisableNXShowUI

Set the FULL path of the program and a string value of the name of the compatibility mode being applied. A reboot is required.

"NX" stands for "No execute". You have to switch the installer into 64-bit mode before you write this registry key on an x64 operating system!

Again, the above is really NOT RECOMMENDED and SHOULD NOT be used at all!
