Keeping Extensions folder in a network path for .Net analysis

Hi Sreejith,

I have couple of scenarios in which the extension folder is there in local drive and still getting the above warning. So the solution for this issue is as below:

Navigate to this path C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config or the path where you have .NET framework installed.

Open machine.config file present in the above path and you will have <runtime\> tag inside it. 
Kindly change this tag to the below one:

<runtime>
      <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
  </runtime>​

Reopen CAST-MS and run the analysis again.

Hello Sreejith,

Is there any specific process configuration that has to be done during or after changing the extensions path to local drive from the network drive.

Hi Rahul,

Ofcourse you have to change CASTGlobalsettings.ini file when you change the path from network to local , so that CAST-MS reads the path and execute the analyzer accordingly.

Hi Rahul,

You can change the extensions path as follows:

To change the location of the Extensions path from its default location in %ProgramData%\CAST\CAST\Extensions\, you need to modify the following file:

• CastGlobalSettings.ini

The file is located in the root of your CAST installation. First make sure that all CAST applications are closed, then proceed as follows:

1. Remove the semi-colon (;) on the line containing CAST_PLUGINS_ROOT_PATH
2. Change the path after the = sign to the location you require:
   
   For example:

   CAST_PLUGINS_ROOT_PATH=D:\CAST\CAST\Extensions\

3. Save the CastGlobalSettings.ini file.
4. Re-open the CAST Management Studio.
