.NET exception

[Dave Cullen]

I have 3 applications written in VB.NET or C# that will not run on
target machines in our company but run fine on my development PC. The
error I get says the application has generated an exception that can't
be handled, and gives process and thread ID's.

Target machines all have .NET Framework 1.03715. Is it possible that a
higher level is needed? If so, is there .NET upgrade on the Visual
Studio CD's, because these machines don't have web access.

Thanks

What version of VS.NET do you use to compile your application?

If you created the setup via Visual Studio .NET, you can include the .NET
Framework to be installed with your application. It will install the
correct version needed by your application to run properly. Check out

details on including dotnetfix into your setup project.

If you have access to the source code it would be safer to sign them with a strong name and give only assemblies signed with that strong name permissions to run. You have not given a hacker a potientally compromised machine as long as you keep your snk file safe.

If you give permissions to the folder someone could drop any .net assembly, no matter how destructive, into that folder and run it.

I ran into a similar problem before, and it sounds like this might have the same cause as mine. Try setting the code permissions in .NET Framework Configuration (under Administrative Tools). If you want to just try it quickly, set the permissions for All_Code Code Group under Runtime Security Policy --> Enterprise to Full Trust. That way, any code can execute. If that works, then you should probably set up specific directories which will receive full trust just to be safe.
