Can I install Folderscape on my filer instead of installing it on each individual workstation?

Answer:

Yes, you can. In fact, there are advantages to installing Folderscape this way.

There's one problem with this approach, however. Because Folderscape uses Microsoft's .Net Framework, it is subject to the security rules imposed by .Net Framework. Those rules generally prevent a program from performing certain operations if the program is not installed directly on the workstation. Since Folderscape needs to perform some of the restricted operations, you can't simply install Folderscape on your filer and run it from there.

There is, however, a solution to this: you can tell .Net Framework that Folderscape is permitted to perform the restricted operations even though it doesn't reside on the workstation's local hard drive.

To do this, you need to locate a program named "caspol.exe". You'll commonly find it here:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe

caspol -machine -addgroup All_Code -strong -file *path* -noname -noversion FullTrust -n Folderscape
