BUG: LuxRiot -t (Extended debug tracing) installations are not DEP friendly
The information applies to:
- LuxRiot 1.1.x

Resolution
A temporary workaround for the problem is to set up LuxRiot application as DEP exceptions as descibed below.

If acceptable, set Windows to use DEP feature for only essential Windows programs. In this case the alteration is complete. Otherwise add LuxRiot applications as DEP exceptions:
Add all executables (unins*.exe files are not necessary) from LuxRiot installation directory, typilcally C:\Program Files\LuxRiot Digital Video Recorder:
The appliacations will be listed as exclusions as shown below:
