Running Web Designer 5.0.2.10712 DL, in Windows 7 Professional, as a standard user.

Web Designer crashes on start up (or, the first time, when clicking Help | Update Program).

This is caused when DEP is set for all programs. The crash can be avoided by adding Web Designer to the DEP exclude list.

However, DEP is a valuable security and stability feature, and it is wrong for a program to require it to be switched off before it will run. Trying to execute from memory flagged as 'data' implies a bug or design error.

Hopefully you'll be able to fix soon.
