VBNet Console App:Install EXE/DLL on Remote Server with No Admin Rights

[nikib]

Hi,

I am new in the forum and new in .Net. I've tried to search for answers on web to no avail.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

Is it possible to install a console app, that also has a reference to a class library, to a remote server where I don't have admin rights to? This is basically what I did.

1. Run sn.exe and add strong names each for both console app and class library projects

2. Build both console app (output: dummyapp.exe) and class library (output: dummylib.dll) with configuration set to "Active (Release)"

3. Run .NET Framework Configuration to set Full Trust to both exe and dll.
3.a) .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration --> My Computer --> Runtime Security Policy --> Machine --> Code Groups --> All_Code :
3.b) Right Click and New "DummyApp_Zone", Condition Type "Strong Name", Import "dummyapp.exe", use permission set "FullTrust". Do the same thing with "dummylib.dll".

4. Copy "dummyapp.exe" and "dummylib.dll" to the shared server (mapped drive) where I have read/write access to the directory.

5. I was able to execute "dummyapp.exe" in command prompt as expected.

6. Another user who has same read/write access to the directory execute the "dummyapp.exe" and had this error:

Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not a
llow partially trusted callers.
at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.ThrowSecu rityException(Assembly a
sm, PermissionSet granted, PermissionSet refused, RuntimeMethodHandle rmh, Secur
ityAction action, Object demand, IPermission permThatFailed)
at DummyApp.modDummyApp.Main()
The action that failed was:
LinkDemand
The assembly or AppDomain that failed was:
DummyApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e0672eda862ffc37
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
Intranet
The Url of the assembly that failed was:
file:///J:/Bin/DummyApp.exe

This application and the shared application server will be used within the company (no one can go in who is not employee) so I there is no need for limited security access.

Is it possible to give full access to these objects so anybody can run them without getting the Security Exception error?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Niki
