visual studio .net general:
Just a guess but... you probably don't have .NET
Framework or other required files installed on the
server.
The reason you can copy a new VB6 .exe there and it runs
is because somebody has previous installed the .exe and
it has all the required "runtime" files. But your
new .NET .exe doesn't have those files.
So you need to find the Framework 1.1 runtime
installation files from Microsoft, and then install that
on the machine first. Also you may need to create an
installation for your app. I'm also new to .NET so I
don't know exactly how to do that yet. :)
Good luck!

John,
You don't need .NET framework on the server as the server is only acting as
a file server and thus your app does not run there.
The exception you are getting is to be expected. This is the way .NET is
supposed to run, it's a secure framework. By default, only apps running on
your local machine are trusted. You can change this on your machine though.
Go to:
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Configuration
From there select Runtime Security Policy, and click on Adjust Zone Security
Select make changes to this computer
Select Local Intranet
Then increase the amount of trust to whatever you see fit.
Does this do the trick?
