Possible fix for Visual Studio 2005 build error on Windows Vista RC1

Monday, December 11 2006 - Blog

A couple of weeks back I blogged about getting Web App Debugging working on Windows Vista RC1, and I mentioned an annoying "attempted to read or write protected memory" error when building your solution.

Brian Peek (whose solution I originally quoted in my first post) kindly left me a comment with a possible solution to the memory issue:

"Hey there...saw your link to my site on the IIS debugging stuff.  You may be able to get rid of the memory protection issues by installing VS2005 SP1 Beta 1 at:

I haven't managed to test this yet (since I have now installed the RTM version of Vista and the error is no longer happening), but if you are getting the memory error on pre-RTM Vista builds, you might want to install the SP1 Beta.

Thanks again Brian!
