Andrew,

Go to %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\CLR Security
Config\vX.X.XXXX and see if any files exist. If so, are they read only? Are
there interesting ACLs there? Does this path even exist?

| While running an ASP.NET application in Visual Studio, I
| frequently get the following error:
|
| System.Security.Policy.PolicyException occurred in
| mscorlib.dll
| Additional information:
| Policy level User cannot be saved.
|
| Security.Policy.PolicyLevel.GenerateConfigFile
|
| Of course, it screws up everything and loses my session.
|
| So what file is it trying to save? Where is it trying to
| save it? Why doesn't this just work. It certainly isn't
| any of my code doing this. What security settings need
| to be changed.
|
| I have a straight-forward install of Visual Studio.NET on
| Windows XP.
|
| BTW, I consider this a bug in .NET. It shouldn't require
| me to have to make changes unless it it is well
| documented and I can find no documentation that helps me
| here. I have already search MSDN quite a bit on this one.
|
| Thanks,
|
