I have an assembly (VS 2005) which I need to run from a network drive. When
run from mycomputer the assembly works fine, but it fails to load from the
network. I tried to increase the trust level using the framework
configuration, but it reports "Hash for the assembly cannot be generated".
Could someone tell my what this means? In addition, Is there a better way to
allow an assembly to run from the network without going adjusting the
security level on every machine on the network? Thaks in advance.

As you are finding out, apps started from a network have a limited set of
privileges. If this is a Windows app, why don't you use ClickOnce?

Thank you David. I am using VS Express, no ClickOnce.

You probably need to give your assembly a strong name.
