Hi Ivan,
Thanks for the quick reply.
The exe will not necessarily be run over HTTP. The exe might simply be on
our company intranet server, and I then Network Neighborhood browse to the
exe and double-click on it.
So, since this might not be done over HTTP, is there any other way to have a
config file for the application?
If it is a requirement that we do this over HTTP, does doing it over HTTP
involve setting up ASP.NET (or some other .NET technology) on the server?
Last question: If we just put the config file on the server, then that
means we're setting the same policy (via the config file) for every user
that executes the exe from the server. But I would like my users to have
their own config files on their machines, but access the exe from the
server. Is this just not possible?
Thanks very much for your help.
Robert
