Any Way to make an *.exe "Shared" like in VB6? 1

[RoguePoet01]

Hi again,

Does anybody know how to go about making an *.exe shared and capable of running off a central server location?

Worked like a charm in VB6, but can't make it work now.

Thanks.

Running a .NET executable off a network share can cause security problems if you haven't explicitly given it full access. You need to run the .NET configuration tool for that:
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration

You might want to consider no touch deployment. Basically, you place the exe on a web server and the user types the url, or clicks on a shortcut, to access the program. The program is downloaded into memory and ran from there.

http://servername/program.exe

Thanks to both of you.

We're not too big on URL's and web browsers here.

But maybe I can look into it.

Chip,

Is that something that's done on the user's computer, or on the server?

We don't have a .NET server yet.

RoquePoet01,

What did you end up doing about installing the exe on the server for everyone to run from one place? We have the same issue here and was wondering on what I need to do.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

I can't remember what I did. It had something to do with going into the security feature and allowing multiple users to access that *.exe file for the vb.net program.

Control Panel
Administrative Tools
MS.Net Framework 1.1 Configuration

...and that's about all I remember. Turns out the two programs I wrote for the company weren't needed all that much, and nobody's using them.

I've been using VB6 ever since.

Best of luck.
