Linqpad 6 / group policy blocking LINQPad6.Query.exe
Options
Linqpad 5 allowed copying the Linqpad.UserQuery.exe into the same folder as LINQPad.exe to get around group policy that is sometimes applied in a corporate environment. See here for more details.

I'm hitting the same issue with Linqpad 6 but the solution for Linqpad 5 doesn't appear to work.
Is there a similar workaround for Linqpad 6?
Thanks,
Graeme

How does group policy typically work in this situation? Is it a case of whitelisting a folder, or a specific path? And if the former, will sub-folders also be whitelisted?

Hi Joe
In my case group policy enables execution of excutables in a certain folder and its subtrees.

It's more complicated in LINQPad 6, because there are multiple versions of the process server executable and dependencies.
Are you running the installed version of LINQPad (from Program Files?) And if so, would it be viable if you had to run it with administative elevation, so that LINQPad could create the directory structure beneath its folder as needed? -
In my case I run it from a folder which I have admin access over... it's not program files though. Group Policy blocks it from inside there

So if LINQPad extracted Linqpad.UserQuery.exe to a subfolder within the folder that you run LINQPad from, would it work?
-
Yes 100% in my scenario that would work.

Try the new beta:

Create a folder called ProcessServer under where LINQPad is located and let me know how you get on. -
That works a treat! Thanks for the quick update on it. Graeme.
