Permissions for launching an assembly from network share

[Wanderer]

Hi All,

how knows what must be configured on local machine or (and
better) within .net application in order to allow to start
it from network share without SecurityException?

Application works fine on local drive, but system throws
the following exception when I try to launch it from
network.

Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException:
Request for the permission of type
System.Security.Permissions.S
ecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.3300.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.

Application works fine on local drive

1) Control Panel --> Administrative Tools
2) Select "Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Configuration"
3) Select in the left panel the "Runtime Security Policy" item
4) In the right panel, select the "Adjust Zone Security"
5) In the Security Adjustment Wizard, select the "Local Intranet" group
6) With the slider control, slide the Trust Level up to "Full Trust"

It works so. Thank you.

Is it possible to adjust security only for a particular
application?

I'm not aware of a way. I looked all over in .NET Framework configuration
and didn't see anything there. Maybe there's something that can be tweaked
in machine.config, but I don't know.
