I am a real newbie to .net but have many years of experience with VB6
and java. I published a VB.net application and installed it on another
machine. As domain admin it installs and works fine. However as a
"regular" user I am not even able to run it once it has been
installed. The security set up is very tight. Users don't have access
to the local C drive. However other applications have been installed
and run (I assume security has been set up for them)

My guess is that I need to configure the application so that it is
allowed to run. When I go to the .net application configuration I
cannot find my install files. There is no install directory as such.
There is a shortcut on the desktop and in program files but no target
directory. How can I select the application to configure it if I
cannot even find the files.

When I developed the application I selected click once fully trusted
application so I assume I have to give the code the same full trust on
the system where it will be used.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks

David

Hi,
I don't know if I understand your problem well, but sth like your problem is
always bothering me. When you publish a solution in VS2005, the setup file
will install the application in an strange location of the destination pc. I
will then try to find my .exe file from Search wizard. I know that the
application will install itself in Documents and Settings Folder of Windows
OS. But the folder name and its depth in this folder is a real problem of
mine. Try to find it by search wizard and set the look in folder to
Documents and Settings Folder and its subfolders with hidden files and
folders included in your search.

Good Luck,

If you are Publishing it with ClickOnce, there isn't an easy way to
find where the executables are stored. What I've done is to add a menu
item that gets the path (from Applcation.GetExecutablePath) and copies
it to the clipboard.

Hope this helps

Mike

How are you publishing your application? Are you using ClickOnce
deployment?
