I have written a basic Windows Form app in C# that has an embedded web browser control. I am navigating to a page to view a camera’s feed. The application works fine on Windows XP, but not on Vista.

On Vista, I get a AccessViolationException. This seems to be related to Data Execution Prevention.

The article at http://jtstroup.net/CommentView,guid,3fa30293-a3a4-4a1c-a612-058e751ad151.aspx has a couple solutions. The fix at the bottom of the page, editbin.exe /NXCOMPAT:NO YourProgram.exe from a Visual Studio Command Prompt works just fine.

However, what I’d like is to use the post build event method, by adding the following as suggested:

REM Mark project as DEP Noncompliant call ‘$(DevEnvDir)….\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat’ call ‘$(DevEnvDir)….\VC\bin\editbin.exe’ /NXCOMPAT:NO ‘$(TargetPath)’

However, this doesn’t work when I try to run the program through the debugger (i.e. I get the same exception).

Any ideas?

  1. According to this article:

    Because It was observed in a Setup project with Visual Studio 2008 that the Add Project Output source path Points to c:\App\OBJ*.exePost Build Event would update c:\app\BIN*.exe and not the OBJ.

    Manually add the build in setup and deployment Project Create New Setup Project | Add File | select Build EXE which is under Bin Folder
