We have a .NET 1.1 application written by a colleague of mine (who is no
longer employed here). It is sitting on a network share, and to run it on a
computer, we need to trust the assembly on each computer by doing the
following:

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Configuration > Manage The Assembly Cache > Add an Assembly to the Assembly
Cache

I'm trying to automate this in a batch script, but am confused as to the
command-line equivalent. I know the application needs to be signed with a
strong name (downloading the corresponding .NET SDK as I type this), but what
do I do after it is signed? What command(s) do I need to run, and what (if
any) registry keys would I have to manually enter?

You can use caspol.exe
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptools/html/cpgrfCodeAccessSecurityPolicyUtilityCaspolexe.asp)
to modify CAS policy from the command line. If you want to deploy a uniform
CAS policy across your entire network, another option to consider might be
deploying an MSI package as described at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815173.
