.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / January 2005Running a .Net WinForms app from network drive etc...
Not sure if this is the proper group for this but... First, I am trying to figure out exactly what steps I must take on each client machine to be able to Run a .Net WinForms ap from a local Intranet mapped drive. Currently my app will only run if it is installed to a local hard drive. Note that I am NOT interested in doing a SmartApp for this. I only want to run this as an standard windows .net winforms app. Secondly, is it possible to do an Install to a shared/mapped Intranet folder from one machine, and then to go to another machine (with .Net framework on it) and then execute that program from the mapped drive without having installed it on that machine? If the answer is Yes, what about if the app uses 3rd party DLL's like CrytalDecisions reporting DLL's. Is it enought for those DLL's to be installed in the App folder or MUST they be installed into each client machines local GAC? Thanks in advance, JIM To run a .Net app from local intranet, you will first need to change the security level to allow it. Under Control Panel::AdminTools, select Microsoft .Net Framework (1.1) wizards. In the ensuing dialog, double click Adjust .Net Security and select make changes to this computer. Click Next and you will now see Local Intranet as one of the choices. Select it and make it Full Trust. Regarding your other issue for a .net app to run on a mapped folder, you can do that as well. You dont really need to "Install" anything. Just copy all the modules to the mapped drive and make sure all machines have "Full Trust" access to Local Intranet. Thats all you will need. You dont need to mess with GAC. ------------ Ajay Kalra ajaykalra@yahoo.com > Not sure if this is the proper group for this but... > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > JIM Ajay, Ok, I tested it and althoug I can now get the app to Run, I cannot get the reports to run when I simply place all the files in the mapped folder. Are you absolutely positive the CR dll's do not need to be registered on the client machine? Below are the exception results I get tryingto execute a report in this manner. Note all the Crystal dll's are placed directly in the application mapped drive folder thanks, JIM System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

The progrm DOES run, however when I try to run a CR Report, then I get the error's I posted in my last. So, my question then is, what is so different about CR dll's ? Do they need to be registered somehow on the client in a way that other DLL's do not? Have you actually tested this yourself with Crystal? I known that when you put CR in an Install project and install it onto a client it places files NOT in the app folder but instead into the Program Files\Common... folders and makes some entries to the registry. Thanks again JIM > You need to put all the dependent modules to the mapped folder. This > will mean your devExpress dlls etc would go to the mapped folder.

I have personally deployed my project like this(using DevExpress and other 3rd party tools) and had no issues other than the one I mentioned. Sorry I cant be of further help. -------------- Ajay Kalra ajaykalra@yahoo.com > Maybe I wasn't clear in my last reply. I DID put all dll's in the mapped > drive folder.
