VBP automation from ASP.NET, who does it run as?

[jfreedman]

Hey all,

I've found a solution to my problem, but was just wondering if it could be done differently.

I have a VBP project that I invoke using automation from a asp.net web site.

One step of the vbp is to copy files across the network, and it would still fail on the web if I set impersonation to a user with access rights or configured the web site's security to run as a person with access.

The only workaround I could find was to add VisBuildSrv.Builder and VisBuildSrv.Application to COM+, it would then be able to copy the files over running as the authorized user.

Is there another way to do this without involving COM+?

Thx
