This is the solution:
Modify the c:\boot.ini file as
"/noexecute=AlwaysOn"

It will allow to spawn the process.

Choose the OptOut mode:
Explanation:
DEP is some kind of protection. You can exclude applications from this protection by adding this applications (telnet, ftp etc.) to that list.

I have the same issue as well. I tried 8.5 and then ran teacup -install Expect. same fail. The exact error I get is:
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x59a7295d.

this is the same error and location if I use 8.5 or 8.4. Both versions of Expect are 5.43 though.

I was using ActiveTcl Ver 8.4.14 with my older PC with Windows XP Ver 5.1.
I just got new PC with Windows XP professional Ver 5.1 as well.
I am using "package require Expect" at the begining of my script.
I loaded ActiveTcl Ver 8.4.14 and script died at the following command.

set pid [spawn telnet 192.168.1.1 23]

I loaded ActiveTcl Ver 8.4.17 and same issue.
ActiveTcl Ver 8.5.0.0 does not contain Expect package and useless for me.

I nedd help. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks.
