Problems running a .net exe from a network drive.

Hi,

I am experiencing some problems running a .net exe placed on a network
drive. File IO operations and access to reg db results in access denied
exceptions. If I run the same program from a location locally on my machine I
do not have any problems... Anyone who knows why?

This is because your application is not fully trusted when running from the
network share. Permissions to access certain resources (like the local file
system and registry) will be denied.

For more check the resources linked to here:

In visual basic 6 I can write an application and toss it up on a shared network drive for the company to access. Works like a champ. In .NET my C# application runs fine on anyones machine, but due to the integrated security model of .NET, bombs out with Security Exceptions when someone tries to run it off the network drive. Sure, I can go to the users PC, and via the control panel,

I've split a rather large Access2000 database that resides on a network drive, by keeping the back-end on the network drive and placing the front-end on the client's hard drive, linked to it. Both front-end and back-end dbs are then compacted to save space. This is a normal procedure, but when I run the database now it performs much, much slower than the old unsplit version of the database, which is unacceptable. I have had to back off...

How can I keep the ComboBox textbox empty of datasource items when my local application starts AND keep them empty even after the user clicks different Tabs on the form. I welcome any questions.

Each Tab has more CB’s and, by the way of course, I need to keep user CB selections on each...

I'm trying to execute a .exe file with the Procces.Start, and there is no problem when the file is on my computer, the problem comes when the file is in a network drive.

Can a vb program running as a serice not use network paths to do file/io? I can't seem to get my program to work with network paths and files. When I use local disk it works fine. When I run it as a none service program it works fine. I'm assuming that vb programs running as a service do not support network paths. Is that true? Thanks in advance.

Hi, My CSharp program, when I run from the local drive it can create/modify registry. However running the program from a network drive, gives RegistryPremission error.

Firstly Im writing not as a programmer, but a a network admin. We are having a problem where students cannot run applications in VB.net from their home area (a network drive). However the same app works fine from a local drive or pen drive. Does anyone know of any active directory restrictions which might be causing this, or a group policy way of fixing it? Thanks for your help.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
