Giving a program permisions

[velocius]

Ok, the title might not be 100% clear, but i'll be more precise here

When i attempt to read an XML into an Dataset, i use the following line of code

Dataset1.ReadXm l("C:\test.xml" );

This works fine on my portable, but if i use it on a second PC, i get the following error.

Security Exception Was Unhandled
Request for the permission of type System.Security .Permissions.Fi leIOPermission, ... (this contains the public key, wich isn't too important for you guys i think)

if you didn't know, the language is C#, .NET framework 2.0.

I suspect it might be the permissions, i have the administrator name and pasword, is it possible to give my program those as well?

or is there another problem thats causing this?

any help so i can come to a solution would be apriciated :)

I tried using Impersonating a diffrent perrson, giving the login and pasword of the admin, but i get an error, stating i don't have permision (to change my permisions)

//impersonate admin rights
            Impersonator i = new Impersonator("Administrator", "Domain", "Pasword");
            i.Impersonate();
            //this the the location of the crystal report, if the report changes location, this needs to be updated
            MyReport.Load("\\\\srv3\\home$\\programmas\\IntoToCr\\IntoToCr\\Arrival.rpt");
            //Stop using admin rights
            i.Undo();

The problem lies at this.impersonat ionContext = this.Logon().Im personate();
wich i have made bold in the code of Impersonator.cs

I hope someone has a clue to a solution.
