I am designing an application that will be used by users on the corporate
domain.
From one point of view the application would be better suited to a winforms
environment because of the rich features that will be required on the forms.
However, I also need to minimise support & easy deployment is high on list
of priorities which points to ASP.net app on intranet
Users will not have any admin permissions on their pcs so they will not be
able to install an application themselves - they would need a techinician to
carry out the install for them which is not going to be acceptable
Ive tried copying dummy winforms app to share folder and have users run it
from their. This does not work (code security errors) unless the Local
Intranet zone is set to Full Trust using the Configure Code Access Security
Policy wizard. Is this something that could be done centrally to a group of
machines?
Ive also tried to publish dummy winforms app using the Publish Wizard in vs
2005. However, when testing with a user who has 'user' permissions, when
they run the setup.exe from the publish location, they get the message
"Unable to satisfy all prerequisites for TimneLogger_BO_VB. Set-up cannot
continue until all system components have been successfully installed."
Im assuming that this is because they do not have permissions to install.
Is there any way around the problems described above? My alternative is to
reduce the number of features and develop as a webforms app but I wanted to
make sure before going down this path
