Following an experiment yesterday, for those who have AMD/Intel 64-bit processors (like
moi) and SP2 RC1, you have to watch out for the DEP (Data Execution Protection) system - when activated, no DBPro program (including the compiler) will run. The editor (both the default one and RobK's one will - you just cant compile).
To get around this, you need to specify which programs you dont want DEP to generate an error for - usually you would specify the compiler, associator and various other bits.
What DEP is for is detailed here :
Quote: "Additionally, Microsoft is working with microprocessor companies to help Windows support hardware-enforced execution protection (also known as NX, or no execute) on microprocessors that contain the feature. Execution protection uses the CPU to mark all memory locations in an application as non-executable unless the location explicitly contains executable code. This way, when an attacking worm or virus inserts program code into a portion of memory marked for data only, an application or Windows component will not run it"
Whether this will be improved when the release version is released, i, of course unknown.
The main reason for mentioning it is that DirectX games (Unreal Tournament, UT2004, Halo etc etc) dont generate an error, making me think there is a DBPro problem somewhere - it would be interesting to see if BB suffers from the same problem.
The place for all
great plug-ins.
Keeping it Unreal since 2004
