2004.7 Crash Immediately After Login

[Mikey]

Oh crap.

I have a structure that crashes right after I try to log into it
(using 4D's users & groups). 2004.7.

I don't see any reports of similar behavior. 4D Tools reports all's well.

Suggestions?

If you're on a Windows machine, this sounds like data execution
protection is not set to permit changes to 4D applications....

[Mikey]

Vista has it turned off except for essential Windows programs and
services by default. You can't add a program to the excluded list
because it's not enabled.

Also, wouldn't a DEP issue affect all my 4D databases?

[Michael Burger]

For Vista, make sure that the 4D application and/or datafile are not in
the program files folder. That, and DEP, are the only two causes I've
encountered that result in the immediate crashing of 4D.

Can you log into the structure without the users and groups loaded?

If you are logging in via key file, try logging in without it.

Nope.

Did you try Michael's suggestion? - we have found the same thing - we must install our OEM'd client and single user apps outside of the Program Files folder.  In fact, we have a customer trying to run a 4D 2003 Client on Citrix running on a Windows Server 2008 box.  I'm hoping since server 2008 is similar to Vista, it's the Program Files folder access control problem and that moving the instll will solve the problem.  I'll report back when the've done it.
