No Touch Deployment again :-(

[venerable bede]

I hav copied my exe file into a virtual folder and used the .net wizard to make it a trusted executable.

Everything works fine but when I recompile my program and copy its exe into the virtual folder and then try to access it it falls over because I dont have the required permissions set up.

Why is this happening ?

I was hoping that no-touch deployment would allow me to make such changes.

I have now compiled my application as a class file (dll) and I have placed that in the virtual folder and have created a 'stub' application which invokes the application.

This seems to work OK until I attempt to extract my connection string from an application variable held in the config file and it blows up.

Null reference.

Jeeez this no touch deployment aint all its cracked up to be.
