Hi,

I have developed .NET Windows forms applicaton (eg. myapp.exe). Each
user has this application installed on the local machine and accesses
SQL Server database on the server from the application through LAN
connection.
However, couple of days ago a special intranet site has been developed
so users want to run this windows forms application from the link on
this intranet site.

So I uninstalled application from each of the client machine (I left
.NET redistributable) and installed the application on the server.
After that I have created virtual directory on the intranet site which
points to the physical folder on the disk where the application
resides.
However, when users try to start the application from the intranet
site in Internet Explorer(eg. http://intranet/myapp/myapp.exe)they do
not receive the usual Open/Save dialog box, but instead the error:
"Application has generated exception that could not be handled." is
displayed. It is not even possible to start this application from the
server's IE, the same error is displayed.
There is no problem running, for example notepad.exe from this
intranet site or some application developed with Visual studio 6. It
seems the problem is only present with .NET application.
The application is developed with VS.NET 2003 for .NET 1.1.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Janez
