After creating the .exe for a vb.net app that accesses a SQL Server
database, I needed to port it over to several machines. So here are the
steps I followed in trying to get this app to run on the machines.
1] Install .NET Framework 1.0 on the machine
2] Install MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1 Refresh
3] Copy the code to the local drive
4] Run the .exe

The results I get are mixed. For some of the users who log onto the
computer, the app will run flawlessly. But for other users, the app stalls
out once it tries to connect to the database. Among the users logging onto
the computers, there are no discernible permissions differences. As a
matter of fact, even though I know it's not something I should do, I created
a group called LocalUsersAdminTest which I assigned to the local admin group
and put all the users of this app into LocalUsersAdminTest. This doesn't
change the results at all.
If anyone has any advice to offer, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks - Charlie

What exactly do you mean when you say "the app stalls out"? Are you seeing a
specific security exception being thrown? If so, please post the exception
information.

Are you sure it is a security issue? Have you tried connecting to the
database from the "problem machines" through a different app (like MSQuery)
to make sure the client machines can access the database?
