all .NET apps cause System.Security.Policy.PolicyException

[David]

I was testing some configuration options with Framework
Configuration tool and eventually something went wrong
in .NET security.
Now cannot do anything in .NET with out
having "System.Security.Policy.PolicyException: Execution
permission cannot be acquired." error and CLR debugger
popup. I get this error running caspol.exe, ANY .NET
application, even when I try to open Configuration snap-
in. I have tried to reinstall the framework and it didn't
help. Virtually nothing works on my machine!!!! I have
VS.NET 2003 WinXP professional and Iam administrator.
Please help Im despaerate!!!
Thanks David

What did you change?

Running "caspol -reset" at command prompt should reset the settings.

And of course noting your original info that running caspol throws the
exception as well, does it throw it when you try "caspol -reset"? If this
doesn't help (check also support.microsoft.com for potential support
articles), uninstall the Framework first and then reinstall it and see if
that helps.
