Problems running Rotativa on IIS6

[rmenezes]

I'm trying to run my application with IIS6, but I'm getting the Message "Access Denied"

There is any special permission to execute rotativa?

Here is my excepetion:

Access is denied

I've also encountered the same issue. Both running on a dev machine and published to GoDaddy.

Edit: Tracked the culprit down to having this line in my web.config, trust level="Medium". Commenting out the line restored functionality. Have you successfully implemented Rotativa in a medium trust hosting environment? If so, can you share how you achieved it?

@alexandis forget it, the problem was I was needing the appropriate VCRedist package. would be very useful detail the requirements on the readme. Someone who has contributed knows better than I the requirements. It 's only a recommendation, the library it's great!
