Working with projects using Express Edition

Hello,

hope somone here can assist a newbie...

I just inherited a C# project from another developer. I copied the project to a directory on my private network drive, and opened the it using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition, the build went successful, but when trying to run/debug from Visual, I get this error:

"Visual Studio could not copy a support file to this location: H:\other\work\project\temenos\temenos\programs\translation\RuleIdExtractor\bin\Debug\TRLRULE.vshost.exe. Please verify the path exists and is writable."

The name of the executable I am trying to run is TRLRULE.exe. I then tried to execute from the commandline, and got this new error:

"Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed."

I was wondering perhaps Express Edition can only work with projects stored on the local hard drive?

regards /Kenneth

I have a few ideas but before I go in to deep, try cleaning the project (Click on the 'Build' menu and then 'Clean Solution') and then try to run it again. If you get the same error, clean it again and then check your build directory (according to your message it should be the 'Debug' folder). If there are any files remaining, they might be some type of settings file that the developer before you incorporated into his application. My guess would be that hard coded file locations in those files are now broken. So, I'd test it out by removing those files (back them up first!) and then trying to rebuild and test the app. Hopefully he included functionality to recreate those settings files if they do not exist when you run the app.
