Hi,

I am migrating my files from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012. 
Everything works fine in the old environment but on the 2012 server, 
When I execute the exe file, it doesnot run and no process is tracked in the 
Task Manager as well. The following error is logged in the XPPFATAL.LOG file:

FATAL ERROR LOG 
Not recoverable Error!
SYS Thread-ID: 580 
Module: EH
Error Codes: EH: 900 Sub: 0(0) OS: 0 XPP: 0
Call Stack of Thread 1 (580):
File: D:\XPP\test.exe
TimeStamp: 20151204 05:24
End of FATAL ERROR LOG.

The Xbase version being used seems to be 1.8. Can it be an issue with the new 
server being 64-bit as compared to the old 32-bit one? How can we solve this?

I have clients using xbase 1.82 on 64-bit windows server 2012 with no 
problems. I would suggest to troubleshoot the issue by simplifying the 
system and then adding more components until you get the error.

To start off, I would copy everything into one folder (exe, dll's, data 
files, etc...). If you still get an error, then simplify the exe and add 
components until the problem appears.

This is a DEP -- Data Execution Prevention -- error, caused by all Xbase++ 
1.8 (and earlier) applications. You need to exempt all of your older Xbase++ 
programs from DEP to prevent this error. I wouldn't turn DEP off, but simply 
add all the failing programs to the exception list.

In the System Settings (Control Panel -> System and Security -> System), 
select "Advanced system settings" from the left pane. Select the "Advanced" 
tab and click on the "Settings" button in the "Performance" section. On the 
"Performance Options" dialog, select the "Data Execution Prevention" tab. 

On Windows Server 2012 the "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except 
those I select:" radio button will be selected by default. On some earlier 
Windows versions, the other radio button might be selected by default.

Just add your failing programs to the list of exempt programs, and your 
applications should be good to go.

Hope that helps,

Andreas

Thank you so much Andreas. Adding the file to the list of exempt programs 
helped and finally my exe works.

Thanks again,

An even better way is to upgrade to version 2.0
You get the most recent state, ready for Windows 10 and a lot of new
features.
