This issue affects small percentage of Windows Vista users when trying to install or uninstall UltiDev Cassini Web Server components. The problem caused by the fact that NoImpersonate flag value in Cassini MSI package is set incorrectly by Visual Studio 2005.
Summary When trying to install or uninstall UltiDev Cassini Web Server on Windows Vista, installation/uninstallation process's custom action steps cause Data Execution Prevention (DEP) crash.
Possible Workarounds
Best Remedy: Get shiny new UltiDev Web Server Pro instead.
Workaround 1. Disable Vista User Access Control (UAC) and try installing/uninstalling UltiDev Cassini again. If this didn't help...
Workaround 2. Disable Vista's Data Execution Prevention feature by following these steps (Courstesy of Chris123NT):
Code:1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on “Command Prompt”, and click “Run as administrator”. 2. If asked for permission to run Windows Command Processor, click on Allow. 3. At the command prompt, type in “bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff” (without the quotes). 4. You should receive a message saying “Operation Completed Successfully”. 5. Restart the computer, DEP / No Execute should now be disabled. Try installing/uninstalling UltiDev Cassini again. If this didn't help and you are trying to uninstall UltiDev Cassini components...
Workaround 3. Use Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (KB290301):
Code:- Run "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up\msicuu.exe" and remove UltiDev Cassini component that won't uninstall. This utility will remove all the Registry entries related to the installed product, but will not delete files. After you ran cleanup utility, - Go to "C:\Program Files\UltiDev" folder and simply delete the folder of the UltiDev Cassini product that failed to uninstall normally.
Now you can try to install next version of UltiDev Cassini. Keeping UAC and DEP off will increase chances of Cassini installing correctly on your Vista system.
