Yesterday (March 1) Microsoft Expression Web 4 stopped working. It crashes immediately after the original splash window opens. This happens using the free EW4 version and it happens using the "WebStudio_Trial" only if you apply SP2. When it happened on my Win 8 triple boot partition I went back to my Win 7 partition with the same result. Its interesting that the latest versions of EW4 work well in my Win 10 partition and Virtual Box Win 10 running in Win 8.
Therefore my assumption is that a recent Win 8 (and Win 7) update has caused this problem. Since EW4 is only on "long term" support MS may not be very interested in this problem. I find EW4 is an excellent free super code editor for website development and would hate to have to find an alternative. I found this page with suggested fixes but they didn't work Causes for Expression Web Crashing - Ruminations from the Expression Web support team - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
My work-around is to use the WebStudio trial version of EW4 without SP2. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
