I am trying to develop .NET programs because the development cycle is
multiple times faster.
But our clients complain that in order to use that, they have to install
..NET first and to do that they need to have administrator rights, so here
comes a lot of paperwork to get one of the IT's to come and install it for
them. (Company policy)
So I am beeing asked to drop .NET and start recreating the program avoiding
..NET and use MFC again.
This is not actually on my wishlist, since it takes 7 times more to do that
same thing.
Have other people problems with this too? 37 1600
Tell the IT people to get off their behinds and install the framework
If they are paying you by the hour then they will soon reap the benefits

Try to arrange meting with someone over IT's... it is not too difficult to
make .NET Framework minimal requirement on all machines. In all
companies I work for .NET Framework has same status like Service
Packs and Hot Fixes - MUST have. Just talk to the boss.

I am also IT, so I have been installing .net on all the machines preparing
for the flood of .NET programs coming oit. Try to arrange meting with someone over IT's... it is not too difficult to make .NET Framework minimal requirement on all machines. In all companies I work for .NET Framework has same status like Service Packs and Hot Fixes - MUST have. Just talk to the boss.
The big problem is that it is the boss of other companies we try to sell our
software too.
It is the IT form those companies that complain. And in my opinion they
should not, since it is redicilious simple to install.
So,do people here have good arguments that could convince these people to
start installing .NET on all machines default?
One good point would that XP SP2 contains the .NET framework default, but so
far it is not. So I am beeing asked to drop .NET and start recreating the program avoiding .NET and use MFC again.
It sounds me like "Let's all drive bikes. We have too much paperwork if we wish to drive car."
Yes just like that. In reality this means that I will need 7 months to
redesign the proram in VC++ unmanaged code with mfc to recreate the same
program. :-(
I would prefer to add 7 times more functionality to this program in that
same time period.

Sometimes I have the impression that people are afraid to start using
technology that is new, they prefer to stick with old technology since they
understand how it works. I actually know people that refuse to install this
..NET because it slows down their computer, but we all know now that this is
not the case. Yes just like that. In reality this means that I will need 7 months to redesign the proram in VC++ unmanaged code with mfc to recreate the same program. :-(

One great tool is to use IntelliMirror with Group policy in a secure domain
environment, this is designed to work with MS Installer , so to get the most
of it you need to deploy using MSI files.

But so far no one on this newsgroup has solved my problem how to define a
strong named application that this public key inside the exe is allowed to
be trusted for opening Network files.
The current solution is through Control panel, administrative tools,... .NET
wzard.... But I want to have this done either by the program itself, during
installation or by adding a singel line to the app.exe.config file. The
permissions are set to all, but the policy must also be set.
I see tons of documents about security, policy,.... enough to read it for
the rest of my life, but somewhere hidden in these trillion lines of code
must be a simple sollutions.
It would be nice that if I XCopy the application to a new computer that this
application is automatic configured to access the network files too.
Can this be defined in applic.exe.conf? As some line:
Something like: 'NetworkZone=FullTrust' ????
Thanks. :-)

To add to my question: I already use:
[assembly:ZoneIdentityPermission(SecurityAction.Req uestMinimum,Zone=Security
Zone.NoZone)]
in my assembly.cs (C#) project.
Can I also add some line like

rust)] or something like this?
or in the myapp.exe.cconfig file?

You are right about this, and I was afraid of that because of the security
risk, but I had to ask since you never now that there exist a miracle
solution.
This means educating the users how to do this. :-) In 1 year everybody
probably knows how to do this, but at this moment, not many computer users
know how to do this so they resist.
Choosing the right balans between security and ease of use is not always
easy.

I think that biggest problem I had when going onto .NET platform was taking
some sence into users heads. They've heard that .NET has securitiy flaws,
they've heard that it is slow, they've heard that it will cause world to
collapse...
all heard and nothing proven... but, after some time, when they got used to
it, they are much easier to work with... they even know how to use .NET
Framework Wizards... :))

The same problem here. Resistanse for the unknown.
I had it too, I was also convinced that it was like Java, or only for
Internet applications, for one year I avoided it.
But now that I know it, I am convinced that this is the future to go. It
makes programming a lot easier.

..NET programs are far more user friendly!
And more and more people will like it when they are less vunerable for bugs,
virusses and worms. :-)
