SetProcessDEPPolicy API causing issues with VB6 activex

[Meghavi]

Hi,

We are hosting some VB6 activex controls in our application along with Chromium .
there is a known issue with VB6 activex controls and Data Execution Prevention in Windows 7. due to this we disable DEP for our process.
but it seems CEF is using SETProcessDEPPolicy to enable DEP which is causing our application to crash.

Also Unfortunately this API acts in a way that once it turns on DEP, it can’t be turned off with the API.

Is there a way we can set some flag/switch so that CEF does not enable DEP policy?

Thanks,
Meghavi

What CEF version are you using? You can search for MITIGATION_DEP in the source code: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/code ... um&type=cs. To disable this you'll need to build your own custom CEF version.

Yes we had to create our custom CEF to disable it.
It would be better to have a configuration for these sort of things.

Thanks,
