Setting .NET Code Access Policy
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 6:40 pm
Howdy,
Just wondering if anyone has managed to use InstallAware to install a .net CAS policy as required by Microsoft Office addins to function properly?
I used to use the SetSecurity Windows Installer class method in MSI installers but it requires to pass parameters to the Install and Remove function which I believe you can't do with InstallAware?
I could hardcode an installer class to perform the required actions but would prefer not to. Ideally I would like a way to register the CAS policy from MSI code.
The only other solution I can see is to develop a plugin DLL which does what the SetSecurity .NET class does, but being it would be in C++ it makes the required code a bit more complex.
