security issues with an upgraded VB6 program

[Guest]

Hello,
I'm not a professional developer. I have several in-house VB6 programs that
I have upgraded to VB.NET. One of them runs fine while I'm in the
VisualStudio.NET environment, but the .exe will not run standalone. I get
security messages, I guess because I am creating folders and copying files on
a network drive. I think I must do more to deploy the program correctly, but
I can't figure out what it might be.
If anyone can help, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks
Gary

Hi,

The security settings for an application being run on a local
computer are different than one being run on the local network. You can use
caspol.exe to give your application the required permissions.

If you are using vb 2005 click once simplifies the process for you.

Thanks very much, Ken. I don't believe I fully installed the SDK since I have
lot of information and documentation installed, but the program isn't found
where it says it should be. I will re-install the SDK and probably fix my
problem.

Thanks again.
