Why does my MATLAB Compiler 4.2 (R14SP2) application quit without warning or error messages?

I have compiled an application using the MATLAB Compiler on Windows.

When I try to run it, the application simply quits without an error or warning message.

This may be due to the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature of newer operating systems.

On computers that have the hardware support, Data Execution Prevention is a feature of newer operating systems, like Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP SP2, that prevents program execution in memory that has been marked exclusively for data.

Applications generated by the MATLAB Compiler currently do not support the DEP feature.

If you are logged on as an administrator, you can configure DEP settings by using the System dialog box in the Control Panel. For more information on Data Execution Prevention, please refer to the following Microsoft documentation
