title: IIS: How to disable Data Execution Prevention in Windows Server 2008?
body: <p>I've been trying to disable DEP on my windows 2008 dev box and have not succeeded.  </p>
  
  <p>I've tried:
  System Properties->Performance Options->Data Execution Prevention->Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only</p>
  
  <p>(still happens)</p>
  
  <p>System Properties->Performance Options->Data Execution Prevention->Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select</p>
  
  <p>in this case, i tried to choose both inetinfo.exe and w3wp.exe in the c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\ folder, and when selected, I receive this error:</p>
  
  <p>"You can not set DEP attributes on 64-bit executables".  </p>
  
  <p>I'm sure that there is some memory leak somewhere - but that is a separate problem.   I'm happy to live with it for a while in my development environment (in fact that is where I need to let it go so I can see it) </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thx,
  Doug</p>
