Systems Security Exception

[Sean]

Hello, I have a .net exe file on a server. When I try to
execute it from a client's computer, I get a Systems
Security Exception. Is there a way for me to set the
security to "full trust" for everything is a certain file
path?

Thanks,
Sean

Yes, the security policy must be edited for each client machine.

A safer approach would be to add that Server as an Intranet or Trusted Site
in IE using File:// URL, but only if the default permissions for those
groups are appropriate. I wouldn't increase the permissions on those code
groups.

To see the permissions for a particular code group, use the .NET Framework
Configuration (Control Panel > Administrative Tools on XP).

If you really need Full Trust or higher permissions than Trusted Zone
allows, you can create a new code group (and optionally a custom permission
set) and set its membership conditions appropriately. There's a wizard that
can configure it for you by choosing Runtime Security Policy, then clicking
Increase Assembly Trust.

A deployment package for the security policy can also be created from the
admin tool.

The safest way is to sign your application with a strong name, and add a code group to fully trust that particular public key. You can find details on
doing this here:
