I wish to develop a VB .net application on a shared drive.
When I open the project I get a long dialog box starting
with: "The project location is not fully trusted by
the .NET runtime". And indeed I cannot run the application
due to security checks.

What can I do to create a VB .net application on a shared
drive?

Next time that dialog box appears, click the Help button. THe help
actually does, in this case (as opposed to VB6, where clicking the
Help button rarely did). You can solve this in one of two ways, and
the help topic describes exactly what to do. -- Ken

Ken,

Thanks you for a prompt and well considered response.

Sadly it did not work. I do not appear to have mscorcfg
installed. Would you, or any other kind soul reading this
post, have any idea where I get it?

I installed VS.net from my MSDN CDs and apparently
mscorcfg was not included.

Thanks again,
Mark

Thanks for your helpful reply.

I finally worked out how to start mscorcg. Things went
well up to step 5:

"Choose a Condition Type of URL, then add the .NET
Framework SDK to the share location of your project. Click
Next."

I don't have a clue. I am trying to specify a share, not a
url. What am I supposed to enter here?? I tried the file
type url.....file://x:\vbnet, but that had no effect.

Any ideas??

its should me \\machineName\DirectoryStructure of your shared location.

NET applications when loaded are loaded with the evidance information
about the assembly. Evidance will hace the information about the location
from where the application was loaded. If you have to run your application
from a shared location then in your security policy, on your machine should
have the permission to execute applicaitons from that location.

Thanks

Imtiaz,

Thank you for the suggestion, but it does not work.

It says "invalid URL".

That is not at all surprising. How can you possibly put a share into a
field that wants a URL? I tried the only logical approach, a
"file://..." url and it did no good.

Does *anyone* know how to create a VB project on a shared drive? For
backup/recovery purposes that is the only place that makes sense.

Thanks for the try, but alas, that suggestion failed
with "invalid URL".

Which stands to reason, because a URL was asked for and
that is not a URL. I tried the logical "file://...." type
of URL, but that had no effect.

Does anyone know how to create a VB project on a shared
drive? It is really necessary for backup/recovery/sharing.

evidance information
your machine should

Hi Mark-

The file path should be: file://x:/* where X is the mapped shared drive.

Alternatively, You can also give file://ComputerName/* for all files from
that particular computer

The only advantage you will get by sharing your app from a central location
is that, you can upgrade or change your application at one place. The bad
part of it is you have to configure every machine you have to run this
shared application from for security permissions.

If you decide to install this application on every machine then you can
always keep the copy of you application on any number of machines.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Imtiaz.

Imtiaz,

Thanks so much. You solved my problem.
