.NET 2.0 Configuration UI and code access permissions

Im running Vista RC1 x64 but am having trouble executing any of my code
because of security exceptions. When using Vista Beta 2 I used the .NET
Config tool available in control panel > admin tools to set code access to
"Everybody". I know this probably isnt that secure but at least my code
executed as it should. When I try the same using Vista RC1 I get a non
descriptive error when launching the .NET config tool and then it closes. I
have tried uninstalling the .net Framework 2.0 and reinstalling but get
excactly the same problem. Has anybody had the same problem and found a
workaround?

Failing that, im sure I could probably use the command line tool caspol to
set the security permissions for code access to Everyone but am having
trouble working out the syntax. Any help would be appriciated.

Paul.
 
Hello Paul,

Is your code a windows form application? If so, you may try following
CASPOL command:

caspol -machine -addfulltrust APP.exe

This will add FULL TRUST permission on your application and it is granted
full permission to access resource on currect machine.

For a full list of CASPOL command syntax:

Thanks for your response. My code is all .exe running from my network
redirected profile mydocuments\code.
 
Hello,

What did you mean "from my network redirected profile mydocuments\code."?
Are your applications running from a network shared folder? If so, you may
create a new code group and grant special permission set on it, for
example, full trust.

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the reply. Are you a local administrator account on the
computer? I know some security issue may cause the .NET configuration tool
failed in that way. Can you find some error/exception in event log after
".net framework 2.0 configuration" MMC failed?

Regarding the security for your applications, as I understand, your
applications need permission to access network resource, is it not enough
to grant a full trust permission on the computer?

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang

Due to other commitments I have not had a chance to setup a group via caspol
and set permissions. And yes, my code is stored on a network share and yes I
am a local admin (plus have full admin rights on my network). Im hoping to
upgrade Vista to RC2 before the end of the week and am hoping the config tool
will start working then which will make life a bit easier.
