I have Windows XP sp2 release canditate 1 installed and did recently the update to PB 3.90.
After that F5 did not start or compile the program and F7 did not create an exe file and no error was given.
I found that the new "program execution prevention mechanism" in SP2 was the reason. (a new "security" feature from M$ to prevent users from doubleclicking on everything)
I had to manually start each exe related to PB and uncheck the "ask again" box in the "security dialog".
After that all works fine.
Maybe the PB installer/updater needs to be patched to work with XPsp2 and those changes are done automatically.

Greetings

the only thing that needs to be patched is XPsp2

now that's a feature that i do hope is optional

just imagine your xp is asking you every time if you are really sure that you want to run a new progam you just compiled

Well Pharao, that's a logical progression for an OS that constantly wants to know whether I'm really, really sure that I want to delete something.
I'm waiting for the day that my BIOS already knows the OS and asks me whether I want reconsider my intention to boot it...

This is also included in Windows 2003 server.
It ask for every compiled exe if you realy want to start it.
You can disable this.

Does it do the same for every DLL?

No, asks nothing for dll

I just uninstall "Internet Explorer Advanced Security" in control panel, and its stops asking this.
