Using Vista Home Premium 32 bit, DEP on only for essential Windows programs and services. When I quit Eve, ExeFile.exe (the core Eve executable) is often stopped by DEP, prompting for an error report and the likes.
Tried to switch to "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" and it turns out that I cannot disable DEP for ExeFile.exe.
???
This doesn't affect gameplay, but indicates to me that there's something going wrong somewhere.

Why, what's the error message you're getting when you try?
I've turned DEP off on both my home and work machines without a problem.

My initial settings had DEP "off", ie, only On for Essential Windows programs and services.
I got the "DEP Stopped ExeFile.exe" error on close with those settings, which had me try to turn of DEP for ExeFile.exe explicitly.
When I switched to select "Except those I select", and then proceed to select "ExeFile.exe" (the core Eve executable), I get this warning.
This leads me to believe that ExeFile.exe is coded to require that DEP is enabled.

Well not sure what to tell you Beness, Google's no help on the issue and 'it works on my machine'. Here's a screenie.
The only difference is I don't have a 'EveFile.exe', just 'Eve.exe' in my eve folder. I'm using the classic client, if that makes a difference.
I wish I could be more help.

to the OP - this is the crash that eve gets on exiting - sometimes - you nned to do a run logserver , capture it and do a bug report. so ccp can trace it down.
to the other - exefile is what eve.exe becomes after it has launched.

Aye, Eve.exe is in the Eve folder, and there's no issue setting the DEP exclusion there. That process is the bootstrapper, and (amongst other things, I'm sure) is responsible for loading the \bin\ExeFile.exe.
Logserver has me a bit worried due to the "If you run the log server for a long time, the filesize will be a problem" line. I seem to remember this most often at the end of *long* sessions. But I'll figure it out.
edited for spelling: "user" != "sure"

ahh, thanks. For me, just adding the bootstrapper solved the problem and I no longer get the DEP related error on close, hence why I didn't dig further. Thanks for educating me on that.
