Hi, I create a C# WinForms app (signed it with a keyfile), and placed it on a web server. From IE, I could run it successfully via http://localhost/wintest/wintest.exe. As expected, trying http://127.0.0.1/wintest/wintest.exe generated a PolicyException, since its within the "Internet Zone" - quoted from http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/07/NetSmartClients/default.aspx: "In release 1.0 of .NET, the Internet_Zone was associated with the Internet permission set, but as of Service Pack 1 of the .NET runtime, code from the Internet_Zone is associated with the Nothing permission set by default. Someday Microsoft may loosen permissions on code from the Internet, but until then they have decided to put security ahead of functionality"
I thus ran the .NET Framework Configuration tool, and using the "Trust Assembly" wizard, gave http://127.0.0.1/wintest/wintest.exe "FullTrust". Going back to IE and trying http://127.0.0.1/wintest/wintest.exe however still gave me a PolicyException. Anyone have an idea what else I have to do to make the WinForm run in IE ?
