.exe Error on Network: Where to Look Next

[GGleason]

I am new to VB.NET. I have an application on a network with full permissions. I have run an .msi file for a user for full trust for the executable. Yet it fails. As is the familiar story, when the executable resides on the user's machine, it works like it is supposed to.

The executable is designed to run calling a configuration file, also on the network. Even when the executable is local and the config file is from the network, there is no problem.

Here is the exception:
[tt][blue]
************** Exception Text **************
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.

Can anyone think of what to check next?

The .msi was set up as a full trust enterprise.

Please help, please help, please help.

What about the app itself? Is it local or on the network. If it is on the network, have you gone into the control panel -> admin tools -> .Net wizards -> app security and set it to full?

Rick,

Should I use "Adjust .NET Security" or "Trust an Assembly"?

Thanks,

either one. the .Net security will adjust entire zones. The Assembly will adjust security for a single application.

Rick,

I used the "Trust an Assembly" and at the end I got the following message:
[blue]
Due to your existing security policy, the wizard is unable to increase the level of trust for this assembly. No changes were made to your policy.

That was not the news I wanted to hear, but it is at least some information.

Thanks,

hmm, take a look at the .Net security wizard, see what the 'Network' security level is at. I would think assembly security should over ride it though. weird. You might want to talk to your network admins about this.

Rick,

The max setting for local intranet in medium trust for changes for the current user.

A network tech told me permissions were open to everyone.
