VB.NET app on Vista w/ 1.1 Framework

[Darin]

We have an application at over 100 different sites that work great on
XP, 2000, Me, all w/ the 1.1 framework. The application is installed on
the server and the clients map to the server's drive and run the
programs from there. We do have to change the .NET framework security
settings so local intranet has full trust.

Now, on a vista machine we just purchased to test, it seems that local
intranet doesn't have the option of full trust - only medium trust.

So, how do I get the software to run on a medium trust? We are using the
SQL client and I seem to recall something in my early reading that that
was why we had the change the settings.

Putting the application on each users desktop is not a viable solution
due to updating the software - with it on the server it is updated once,
on the desktops it had to be updated on EVERY desktop machine, making
the not computer-bright IT-less staff at a site have to do that.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the trusted zone ? Not heard about such a change for Vista
but they perhaps allowed this only for the tursted zone to avoid having one
giving full trust to a too broad zone (the trusted size includes onyl those
you explicitely added while intranet includes *al* local network machines).

Else try perhaps a Vista related gourp as it looks rahter like a Vista
specific issue...
