Recently I upgraded from VS 2005 to 2008 running on Vista x64. Unfortunately, the software I am debugging is not compatible with DEP. For that reason I disabled DEP using the following post build step: call "$(DevEnvDir)..\tools\vsvars32.bat" editbin.exe /NXCOMPAT:NO $(TargetPath) For VS 2005 this worked, because the visual studio hosting process $(TargetPath).vshost.exe was build with NXCOMPAT set to false. Now it seems that beginning with VS2008 the vshost process has set NXCOMPAT=true. This prevents me from debugging my application using VS2008. How can I use the vshost process with DEP disabled? Thanks in advance.... |

In the absence of any replies, I can only suggest that you either phone MS support and/or report your situation on the MS connect web site as a regression bug against VS2008 and see what MS's response is. If you do report it on the connect site, be sure to supply a simple example and steps to reproduce the issue. Dave |
