I cannot install VA to Vista64 and VS2005. Setup application copied all files and generates exception 'privileged instruction' during registration VA_X.dll. Installer calls LoadLibrary("VA_X.dll") and error happens. I created small Win32 application

int main()
{
HMODULE hModule = LoadLibrary("va_x.dll"); //<- error here!
printf("Loaded!\\n");
FreeLibrary(hModule);
}

It produced following output to debug window

Are you logged in as the administrator? The VA installer should have run with Admin rights, based on my testing under the 32bit version of Vista. Do you know if the installer ran with admin rights for you?

Are you running this test program with admin rights?

What build of VA X? If not the latest, please try that build.

Into what directory did you install VA X? Default is C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X

I tried 1540, 1541 and 1543. Problem is not depends to installation folder, I tried 'C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X', 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Visual Assist X' (it is default in Win64) and 'C:\\VAX'.

Do either of these FAQ's look helpful?

I will start Vista 64bit installing into a VMWare machine here, but it will be a little while before I have any results.

I'm running VA on x64 Vista without problem. I have User Account Control turned off.

This crash is probably the copy protection that will not let you run with the debugger attached. I always get this when I'm debugging Visual Studio autoexpand plugins, and if you continue it pops up a dialog telling you that it will not run with a debugger attached.

Ghoort do you have UAC turned on or off?

I have just finished getting a Vista 64bit machine up and running. This is simply a default install of Vista Buisness edition 64bit. I then installed VS2005. I only made a few changes from the default settings, mainly not installing J# or install shield.

Then I installed VA 1543, accepting the defaults. I did not get any errors or other problems, and VA is working quite happily for me when I run VS2005 as administrator.

Do you have Data Execution Prevention (DEP) enabled?

I've found that if I have DEP active, all attempts to install VAX builds 1540,1541,or 1543 will fail (I've not tried any other builds).

If I disable DEP, install VAX, and then re-enable DEP, then launching VS2005/VAX will result in a fault. I can add devenv.exe to the DEP exception list, and then VS2005/VAX will run without problems. VS2005 by itself runs fine with DEP active and not being on the DEP exception list.

Additional information about DEP can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366553.aspx

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.
The installer crashing is:

case=4604

The IDE its self crashing is:

case=4605

Neither problem shows up under winXP SP2 with DEP enabled, so it seems to be a Vista specific problem.
