I installed this version and it worked just fine initially. But now every time I try to run it I get a DEP violation. Does this version of the official client really execute code from the stack or other protected data only memory areas?!?!?!?!?
Thanks,
Sam

what windows version are you running? i'll see if i can reproduce it.

edit: tested on windows xp sp3, in VMware, no DEP issues.

Yep, using WinXP Pro SP3 as well. I had rebooted several times running virus scans and chkdsk and now it seems to be running fine. I just thought it was strange that I was getting DEP violations out of the blue. Maybe Windoze just got tired and needed rebooting. That happens sometimes.

If I can reproduce it I'll open a bug. Sounds like nobody else is having this issue, so that's good.
Thanks,
Sam

Would it be possible to have a forum topic just for release announcements for the Bitcoin Client software? It would be nice to have them all in one place.
Just a thought,

Well I have scanned this system with Security Essentials, MRT, System Sweeper and Windows Defender Offline.

So I don't think it has a virus.

But now after several reboots I can again run the client. Doesn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Perhaps open an issue on GitHub; maybe someone else knows how to debug Windows stuff.

If I can get it to reproduce I'll do that.
Thanks,
Sam

I'm assuming "DEP violation" is some kind of no-execute thing? AFAIK, no Bitcoin-Qt does this. Since you mention it worked before, I would be concerned that perhaps you've been infected by some kind of virus/trojan. I suggest getting your wallet.dat off that computer ASAP just in case, then looking into it further.

By the way, why is it now called Bitcoin-qt?
Sam

Try MalwareBytes.

It is called Bitcoin-qt because the GUI interface was re-written in the QT language by Wumpus.

I just scanned again with Malwarebytes. The only malware it found was CGminer and Ufasoft miner.

The old client (aka wxBitcoin) was replaced with Bitcoin-Qt, which is a complete rewrite of the GUI.

Yes DEP is Data Execution Prevention. Memory can be marked as Data only so that it should be impossible to execute code from an area marked as such. The stack is the main area that should be read only but many old/legacy apps do execute code from the stack.

I appreciate the assurance that the Bitcoin Client does/should NOT do this, which is what I had suspected and hoped for.

I am currently scanning my system for virus's/malware. I don't think I've gotten anything on this machine, but hey it is Windoze.
Thanks,
Sam

Great job! Well done! Is this the same as the rc1 that you posted earlier (Except for the version number change of course) or has something been changed between this release and rc1? Thanks

No changes, but the Windows Bitcoin-Qt was rebuilt by multiple people (devrandom and sipa) to ensure integrity since it isn't 100% deterministic yet.
