Running a .NET application from a file share without code signing

Question

The .NET security model throws security errors whenever a .NET exe is run from a file share. The error does not appear when ran from a local drive. Does anyone know of a way

Answer 1

Make sure that .Net 3.5SP1 is installed on the machine which is running the software. This version removes the security restriction on apps running from a file share. It allows them to run at full trust vs. the previous model which put them in a restricted environment.
