Receive Error "A non-continuable protection violation has occurred"

Products

• STORAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SUITE

Issue/Introduction

When I start the BrightStor Storage Resource Manager r11.5 application server on Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows XP SP2, I receive the message: "a non-continuable protection violation has occurred. Check ERROR.LOG file."

This error is generated by the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 which automatically sets protection against unwanted services.
