Answer

· Starting of ConfGen gives "System.Security.Permissions.RegistryPermission" error

Network shares by default only get LocalIntranet permissions in a .NET Framwork environment. Therefore it is not possible to run a .Net Framework program from a network share. If you want to run the tool from a network location you have to do the following steps:
- Find {Windows-Directory}Microsoft.NET{.NET-Version}caspol.exe
- Execute "caspol -machine -addgroup All_Code -url serverpath* FullTrust -n FullTrustFromNetworkShare "
- This will give all .NET applications from the above network share full access
