VB.NET Security Question

Dear group,

I wrote a very simple app to enable a fox pro user to call it and do
somethings that he couldn't easily do with Fox Pro.

It was written in vb.net.

My client put this exe on a server that has dotnet runtime v 1.1 installed
and then from a client in his intranet tries to access it as follows

myprogname.exe /? to just get the syntax.... he gets an exception...(which
is 0xf something)... on my intranet I tried to simulate and I get a security
exception.

If we map drive z: to the server...
put the .exe on the client with dotnet v1.1. installed and do

myprogname.exe z:\inputfile etc.
it works.

I assume this has to do with security and the Control Panel apps would be
where I would need to make adjustments but quite frankly I don't understand
them nor what exactly to change.

Any detailed help on this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shane
