.NET framework 2.0 access denied

[Andrea Valori]

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with XPE FP2007. The components
database is updated to the November 2007 QFE.
I have an image with windows logon and explorer shell where I need to lauch
an application based on .NET 2.0 framework. The issue is: if I add the .NET
2.0 component, when I try to call for example the windows command processor
from my application I obtain a Win32Exception "Access denied"; the same if I
call for example the desk.cpl from the CMD (the command shell interface
context is added to the image and I retrieve access denied) or if I try to
open the services snap-in from the MMC. It seems to be a security issue
related to the .NET2.0 component; in fact if I remove that component and
leave all the same, all is ok (I can call the desk.cpl from the cmd, open the
services snap-in and so on). I've tried other configurations (custom .NET
shell with windows logon or minlogon, command shell, explorer shell) but all
shows the same problem. Please note I add the administrator account, the
automatic logon and configure the windows logon correctly for that account.
Thanks in advance, Andrea.

There seems to be a problem with the .NET 2.0 component in th Update Rollup
1.0. Have you tried the .NET Framework 3.0 setup component?

Dear Sean,
thanks for your quick reply.
What about the installation of the redistributable package of 2.0 instead of
the 3.0? Where can I find the dependencies needed by that package? I'm trying
to add the 3.0 setup support component and after install the 2.0 package...
Because all run on a flash, I'm trying to mantain the image as small as
possible... best regards, Andrea.

When you install the .NET 3.0 Setup component it will also install .NET 2.0.

Dear Sean,

I fix the problem by removing the Update Rollup 1.0 for XPE FP2007. After
this action, all return to the correct behaviour. Finally, the cause IS that
Update Rollup. I write this not for you but for all that may have the same
problem. Best regards and thanks for your support,
Andrea Valori.

The was also posted in eh forum site. I hope MS can get around to fix the
problem, or offer a new installer component for .NET 2.0 runtime.
