A developer here is trying to deploy a client/server .NET desktop application from the network. They were originally trying to run the application directly from the network and .NET is requiring the client to have full (I think, or at least high) rights to the files on the network which is a security issue. I mentioned that many run a small "loader" exe to download the files onto the client's machine and then spawn a process to run the application. However, I have not done this myself so I have no experience or code. Therefore the questions are:

1) Is there a best/permissible/proper/etc. way to run a .NET client/server desktop applciation froma a network drive?

2) What is the proper methodology for a "loader" exe to download the proper files and spawn a process to run the application? Also, is there any available (template) code to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Bill
