IIS7 Failed to grant minimum permission requests

IIS7 Failed to grant minimum permission requests

I get this error when I'm using FileHelpers.dll, but my IIS is set to Full trust level so it should not be that way

That's the full stack trace:

I had a similar problem when I rebuilt my dev machine with a clean Windows 7 install. After hunting around I discovered a solution that worked for me.

In your IIS application pool advanced settings, under "Process Model", set Load User Profile to true.

There are some other things to check like your trust level, but none of them applied to me (it was all full trust already on my dev machine). Setting the application pool to load user profile fixed it.

I've seen this error in another instance where, for example, IIS is running an application or virtual path via a UNC path (i.e. \\svr\share\folder). Even if Load User Profile=true I still got the PolicyException error. It was solved by running the Code Access Security Policy Tool (Caspol.exe) to add full trust to the UNC path. Since we had both 64 bit and 32 bit of .Net 2.x and .Net 4.x, I ran it in all four environments as follows:

%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -pp off -m -ag 1 -url "file:////\\svr\share\folder\*"   FullTrust -exclusive on
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\caspol.exe -pp off -m -ag 1 -url "file:////\\svr\share\folder\*"   FullTrust -exclusive on
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -pp off -m -ag 1 -url "file:////\\svr\share\folder\*"   FullTrust -exclusive on
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\caspol.exe -pp off -m -ag 1 -url "file:////\\svr\share\folder\*"   FullTrust -exclusive on

Some notes of caution:

For .Net 4.x be sure to enable the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy to true or the caspol.exe commands won't work as expected.
Do not add duplicate entries with caspol.exe for a given environment. Run the commands below to view your entries:

%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -a -lg %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -a -lg %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\caspol.exe -a -lg %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\caspol.exe -a -lg

We had a similar issue with Windows 2008 R2 where our application would work fine in 64bit mode but when switched to 32 bit mode would cease to function and throw the permission error, turns out, in IIS7 under Advanced Settings >> Process Model >> the "Identity" setting had been switched to "Application Pool Identity" by default and may need changed to "Network Service" to work in 32 bit mode.

We did that and now we are humming along smoothly. Figured this tidbit of info may be the reason that everyone points to folder permissions, because technically it is a folder permission issue. But the change was in IIS and not the security settings on the folders themselves.

It appears that this is something of a generic Assembly will not load error. I appreciate all of the other posts since they became a list of possible sources of the error.

I found one more. I had tried all of the above with no success. I finally realized I was publishing the Web Application from Visual Studios Express 2008 with a Build Configuration of 'Debug'. After changing the Build Configuration to 'Release', the Web App worked.

Specifics: Visual Studios Express 2008 moving files to IIS7.5 on Win 2008 R2 server.

I had similar problems, I solved the issue with following steps:

Go to IIS.
Right click on the website folder and see it's app pool.
Right click on the app pool and go to advanced settings.
In the process model section set load user profile to true

This is a security/trust issue. Open the properties of the DLL in Windows Explorer. It's likely marked as blocked because it was downloaded it from the internet. Go to properties & click the "unblock" button and the problem may be solved.

Old question, but my answer was deleted because i have only posted a link.

maybe you will get this error: ERROR:

Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant minimum permission requests. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131417)

This error occurs because the default trust level for local machine is Full trust, but in the network share not.

So to compile your applications remotely you have to: Go to Control Panel ->Adiministrative Tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration Open My Computer->Runtime Security Policy ->Machine >Code Groups >All Code>New (right click to appear the menu to select New )

The URL field in the next figure is the path to the shared folder , in this case, but you can choose Strong Names( for .exe or .dll) etc

Click Finish and you can compile your app!!

In your IIS 6.0 application pool advanced settings, under "Process Model", set Load User Profile to true.

There are some other things to check like your trust level, but none of them applied to me (it was all full trust already on my dev machine). Setting the application pool to load user profile fixed it.

that help to solve

required permissions cannot be acquired in iis to solve it..
