Security/Permission issues with Citrix and VB.Net

I recently inherited a VB.Net app that now needs to be deployed on
Citrix 9.1. As far as I can tell (I am new to VB.Net from VB6) there is
nothing in the app code specifically accessing the C drive, but my
citrix admin tells me that the app won't run because it is trying to
access/write files on the c drive. Specifically the security log (but
there is more than just that). The citrix admin says he can't do
anything about opening up those directories to the user. Any ideas on
what I can do to make this app work on citrix?

Hi, here at work we also work with citrix and dot net and yes you have to
pay attention that you don't write lines of code like
writefile("c:\documents and settings\username") because it will place the
file it on the c drive of the server and not at the clients pc. But normaly
you citrix or network admin should be able to make a folder on the server
accessible to all/some users. You could place all needed files in this
shared folder and rewrite the dotnet program so that it always reads and
write from that folder to which the users have access.

I hope this helps
