Hi,

I am developing a smart client application (aka no touch deployment)
i.e. I have my winforms assemblies on a webserver and these will be
accessed via a browser ([url]http://localhost/vdir/myapp.exe[/url]). So far so
good.

I am having issues with getting the app.config (myapp.exe.config) file
to download to the client machine, which is causing me all sorts of
headaches. Reading through earlier posts, I have removed the .config
extension from IIS Manager for my vdir, but still no luck.

Looking at the IIS logs, I see a 401 (access denied) error. I have to
mention here that I am using Windows Integrated Authentication, which
seems to be causing this error. If I switch to Anonymous access, life
is good - but I cannot enable anonymous access on the vdir for
security reasons. Is there anyway I can get the app.config file to
download while using windows authentication?

Here is an entry from the IIS logs that show a 401 error:

2004-03-05 00:39:46 127.0.0.1 - GET /vdir/myapp.exe.config - 401 0

Any help with this will be highly appreciated !
Thanks a lot in advance,
Carl
