Can VA 6.0 work on a Windows Server 2008?

Hi, we have a Smalltalk project that still runs on VA6.0 (we intend to migrate to the latest VA soon, but we'd like to have this still working just in case something goes wrong at some point)

We're currently migrating to new servers with Windows server 2008, and trying to install VA6 on the new servers we get an error with a windows dll called ntdll.dll

We tried using the compatibility option in the installer to a previous Windows version and that didn't resolve the issue (as suggested here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/problem-vista-and-visualage-smalltalk/9f0bfaf3-baec-4eff-85d8-b0c551201c30) but that didn't work. Also copying the vast60 folder from the old to new server wasn't good enough cause the image fails to open with the same dll issue.

Is it possible to run VA6.0 on Windows server 2008 at all? And if so, any ideas on how we can solve this dll issue?

BTW, I searched the forum and found this:

But my problem happens on execution start up, it seems the error described there was during the installation.

Thanks a lot in advance

Re: Can VA 6.0 work on a Windows Server 2008?

Hi, I was just contacted with a solution for this (I added a DEP exception to the abt.icx and it worked like a charm)

Thanks a lot for the help!
