Permissions Problem

Hi!

I have a Windows enterprise with multiple workstations and servers.
We write our own internal applications in VB.Net.

One of these machines will not run these programs when logged in as a
user. If I log in as the domain Administrator, all 3 apps work just
fine like they do on every other workstation. On this one, any
attempt to run them returns the error "The application has caused an
exception and will now close" immediately upon launch. There are no
other details other than the error report it wants to send that means
nothing. I have:

- Reinstalled .Net Framework 1.1 (not used by these apps)
- Reinstalled .Net Framework 2.0 (they use this)
- Made the user a member of the Administrators group
- Given the user and "Everyone" "Full Control" of the entire C drive
- Given the user full control of the registry
- Made the user a local Administrator (and given Users full control of
C)
- Performed all Windows updates
- Performed an adware and virus scan
- Performed a chkdsk for drive errors (none)

These apps all run fine when logged in as the domain administrator.
I've even given domain administrator privs to this user and when
logged in as them, I get the same non-helpful error when launching any
of these programs. Everything else on the laptop has worked fine.

What permission could I be missing?
Thanks...

hi,
do you try to run that application from a network mapped drive or from local
drive?

check the .net framework wizard the adjust .net security on client computer.

the application try to access some resources that are accessible only to
domain admins (like some network files, sql servers etc)?

hi,

for .net framwork 2.0 the command line for application security settings is
some like that :

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol .exe -m -ag
LocalIntranet_Zone -url some_network_path\* FullTrust

for more information check caspol.exe /h
