executing exe from a network?

[ac11965]

when i execute my .net exe on my pc or a pc that has the clr installed, it works - but when i copy it to a network directory and try to run it, it fails with the following message...

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0x5a8 (1448), Thread id=0x4a4 (1188)

any ideas?

Does the machine sharing the drive have the .NET Framework installed?

no it does'nt...

so i guess the exe gets executed on the server where it's copied?

is there maybe a way how you can tell it to execute locally?

i was reading a bit about trusted code...
any more info?

thanks

I'm not absolutely certain having the .NET Framework installed on the server is the issue. It's more of a guess. I put a .NET exe on a network drive and it worked no problem. I don't have admin rights to that particular network server so I really can't tell. Any file server has to "know" what files it is serving up. If the exe was running entirely on your resources, you would see no performance decrease if, say, 20 people were using that shared exe.
