I know this was brought up recently dealing with the installation, but I too have Vista and (for the first time) I saw an event where Vista 64 closed down SB because of DEP. This happened as I was going from the execution phase to the AAR phase so it appeared as if SB had a CTD. I ran a search in the forum for "DEP" and "Data Execution Prevention" and it returned no relevant results. So, here is how I disabled DEP was for SB -- it might help some Vista users: ------------ 1) In the Start Menu, right click on "Computer" and select "properties". 2) A new window will open "View basic information about your computer" and on the left side, under "Tasks", select "Advanced system settings". It is important to note that I think this selection will only be available if you are logged in as the administrator. 3) In the next "System Properties" dialog, select the "Advanced" tab. 4) In the "Performance" section, press the "Settings" button. 5) In the "Performace Options" dialog, select the "Data Execution Prevention" tab. 6) Select "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I seelct:" 7) Click "Add..." and then go to the path for ...SB Pro PE\Release and select SBProPEcm.exe. You should see "SB2" show up in the list, now press "Apply" and then "OK". ------------ That should solve the DEP problems with Vista and SB.

Here's a report from a user who had problems starting the 2.460 installer under Windows XP. Apparently the wonder of Data Execution Prevention protected him from installing SB Pro PE. If you have a similar problem, here's a summary of what to do:

Apparently the Data Execution Prevention may step in to block the installation of SB Pro PE 2.460 on some Vista 64 machines. The reason and solution are still unknown. Specific observations are welcome:
