Make exe work on shared network drive

[dhir23]

Here is my situation.

I have installed my vb.net exe on shared network drive. I signed the assembly using mykey.snk and created fulltrust group under user level using caspol.

Still I am getting security exception when the users with only 2.0 framework tries to execute it.

Can any body please help me in getting that exe working on network drive?

Thanks in Advance

Did you configure server or client for trusting? It is the client that must be configured. Here are two relevant threads:
Security Policy Error - Windows App to Shared Network Server.

Thanks John

Thanks for the reply John.

The thing is, all the users of my application are non-admin users and caspol is not allowing non-admin users to modify their machine level policy.

I can modify machine level security on my machine as I have the admin rights. App works fine then but what about end users who don't have admin rights?

Please help!!

Thanks in advance!!

Non-admin users can only configure User policies, Machine/Enterprise policies require Admin rights. Each user also only need a User policy to make it work.

User policy

I added user policy on user's machine.
Still it is not working. My code uses something like FileOpen.FreeFile(), is it causing the problem?

Looks like ..solution is there, Ami missing something here?

I appreciate your help on this.

Try something simple to make sure you have got the policy right, just make an application with a empty form and no code.
