when i try to run a C++ .net executable from a network drive hooked to
server it throws the following execption
SYSTEM.SECUTRITY.POLICY.POLICYEXECPTION.
i have tried copying the project in to the network drive and running it
from there but it shows the same error...any suggestions!!!

your help will be appreciated

See http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archive/2003/06/20/57023.aspx for an
explanation of why the problem occurs and what you can do to avoid it. In
your case, the missing permission is very likely to be
SecurityPermission\SkipVerification since your application is written in C++
and the problem manifests as a PolicyException rather than a
SecurityException.

thank you for your help.

using strong name works. but i am running the executable from a network
drive mounted to the server. i cannot change the security policy in the
server to trust this strong name. is there any other of doing this.

Thanks

Code running from a network will be assessed as coming from the intranet
zone. The default CAS policy does not grant
SecurityPermission\SkipVerification to intranet code. You really have only
three main options for avoiding the resulting PolicyException:

1. Distribute code that doesn't require SkipVerification. (Presumably a
bit late in the game to make this choice given that you've already developed
your application.)

2. Change the CAS policy on the machine on which the code will run so that
your application is granted the additional permissions it needs.

3. Copy the application to the machine on which it will run so that it is
assessed as running from the local zone rather than the intranet zone.
Since locally run code is granted an unrestricted permission set under
default CAS policy, this should avoid the problem unless the CAS policy has
been modified to use non-default settings for the local zone.
