SecurityException running a winApp located on intranet

[joaoPaulo]

hi, maybe u can help me, i'll apreciate! first, sorry about my english. I have some problems with security policy, and i duno the best workaround for that.. - I just finish a "installer.exe" (a WinApp in C#), this installer perform some process, do something on regedit, create virtual directory, things like that. - This installer.exe stay on share directory on intranet server, our customers will put this installer on their intranet servers. So anybody should be able to exec the \\myserver\installers\intaller.exe or some like that... - When the guys on their own station wanna run that installer, in specifics points they get the "System.Security.SecurityException" error I workaroud this problem in my machine setting the .Net security policy to full trust. BUT, no one wants to set the security policy in his machine, cause is boring, or they dont know how do that, and a installer shoul be convenient... some body know ohter way to workaround this problem??? tanks!! blitzkrieg bop!!

Hi! You can create an msi file with security settings from the "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration" control panel and then install this together with your installer. But you should not just set internet zone to "Full Trust" (as this will open a huge security hole!), but rather strong-name your installer and then only trust this assembly. There's also (at least) an article here on CP dealing with code access security[^] Regards, mav
