Does anyone have any experience with DEP (Data Execution Prevention) events raised when shutting down WLP version 5? I have a 32 bit Vista machine and the error is raised by Windows on Fidelity Client Application Server.

Thanks

Have you added the executable to the DEP list?

Thanks Eugene,

Windows does not allow WealthLabPro.exe to be added to the list of programs.

Windows message: "This program must run with data execution protection (DEP) enabled. You cannot turn of DEP for this program."

Let's consider WealthLabPro.exe, a managed .NET app, to be DEP-compatible. No configuration change required here.

"Fidelity Client Application Server" is an unmanaged C++ application. Try adding it to the DEP list. It lives here:

Thanks Eugene,

Same results. WLP does close properly. However, Task Manger indicates Fidelity Server active for a minute or so when it closes with the DEP error message.

Then try selecting "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only".

A customer reports what he has found: if he first logs out of Fidelity, then Wealth-Lab closes without messages from DEP. So, try logging out of Fidelity before closing Wealth-Lab.
