security settings and setup

[C-Services Holland b.v.]

Hi everyone,

we've got an application here that could (and probably) will be
installed to a network drive. Therefore a permission set needs to be
added to the framework policy. Now I've got it figured out how to do
that using caspol giving the url of that directory fulltrust permissions.

But I don't want to tell the customer, who's usually just computer savvy
enough to run an install program, to use caspol or the mscorcfg to set
permissions. I would like the setup program to take care of everything.
How do I do that?

Creating a batch file to be executed probably works, but that isn't the
prettiest solution.

regards

Oh come one. Nobody ever installed programs to a networked drive or UNC
path? How did you handle the security settings? i.e. to allow the
program to connect to an SQL server.

Rinze, creating the batch file is the right thing to do, then include it in
your setup project and have it run as a custom action.
This way it is invisible to your users and there are no additional steps
they have to take.
