Hi Jacob, Thanks for the reply, I'm installing an office 2003 VSTO project and using the custom action which in turn needs the CAS policy methods to register the DLL as safe to be consumed by Office.

I've upgraded the solution to runtime 4 and resulted receiving the exception This method explicitly uses CAS policy, which has been obsoleted by the .NET Framework. // Get the policy level. PolicyLevel policyLevel = CustomAction.GetPolicyLevel("SomePolicyLabel"); In order to enable CAS policy for compatibility reasons, please use the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy configuration switch. Please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=155570 for more information. Following the link I ended up specifying in the CustomAction.config file to use the legacy CAS method overloads. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/> <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/> </startup> <runtime> <NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy enabled="true"/> </runtime> </configuration> I've tried a bunch of things to resolve the issue but with no luck. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advanced.
