LOOKING FOR CASPOL.EXE2005 professional. I ran into security roadblocks when I moved a small test app off my C: drive and onto a network file server. Searching through support.microsoft.com gives lots of complicated explanations and suggestions - none of which proved to be much help yet. I am now wanting to try using CASPOL.EXE, but it is not to be found on my computer. Apparently, installing VS.net pro doesn't produce this file. I have installed the SDK for Framework 2.0, but CASPOL.EXE is still missing. I've seen some 'two word' solutions offerred - 'rerun dotnetfx.exe' - but those fail me because I don't have dotnetfx.exe either. Can anybody help? Is this difficulty part of Microsoft's security plan? The concepts of Framework's security setup seem very powerful to me, but why should it be so hard to even begin implementing them? What am I failing to see? I've been at searching MSDN for hours now. Thank you for the time and attention. Going from VB to .NET is much more than just an upgrade. As you are
beginning to find out, .NET is a completely different development platform than VB 6. One of the integrated security features of .NET has to do with running a ..NET "assembly" from a network location and that is the problem you are experiencing. CAPSOL is obsolete as far as .NET is concerned and this is why you can't find it. There is no quick fix here. You must learn about what .NET is all about before any one answer makes sense.

The website reference you gave seems to have a broken link for "Security in the Microsoft Net Framework". Thanks for trying anyway. Seems odd that there are so many recent references in MSDN discussion groups about using the obsolete tool. Thank you for pointing out my oversight. We've all seen that happen before, and I should have thought of the "now obsolete" possibility earlier. I wished Microsoft would have made their change of CASPOL support more clear. You would think I'd run into this before while viewing various searches and viewings of MSDN articles that touch upon the Control Panel plug-in for Framework 2 security configuration. I think I'll work my way down that approach. So, once again, thanks Scott. Mike Show quoteHide quote "Scott M." wrote: > Going from VB to .NET is much more than just an upgrade.

effective in 3.0, 3.0, because they are add-on on 2.0 (what a mess!). the MMC is just GUI tool to use CASPOL.exe, which no longer included in 2.0 redist, and only in 2.0 SDK. Apparently MS thinks developers is less smart than users: developers need GUI tool to do something, while users can handle complicated command line tool (CASPOL.exe) very well. Pity developers, in MS's eyes.

to see how securtiy works in .NET 2.0 Basically .NET code have different permissions depending for example on where it comes from (it allows for example to run an EXE file that the user saved on his computer but to block the same EXE file that would run directly from the internet or a network drive etc...) You'll find in the control panel a configuration tool that allows to maintain the security rules the .NET framework will apply to .NET applications... -- Patrice "MarathonMike" <MarathonM***@discussions.microsoft.com> a écrit dans le message de news: 334A8C51-9E90-4A83-BDB5-381648E74***@microsoft.com...Show quoteHide quote > After a decade of experience with VB versions, I recently installed VS.net > 2005 professional.
