title: Set a <probing> privatePath in ~/App/web.config without access to the root application .config?
body: <p>Can &lt;probing&gt; privatePath be configured from a web.config located in a subdirectory of the root webapp?  The subdirectory is not a virtual directory.</p>
  
  <p>In my case, I want my webapp in ~/MyApp to reference a private assembly in the ~/MyApp/bin folder.  According to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4191fzwb%28v=VS.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft documentation</a>, it seems like this is possible in my environment, but I can't get it to work:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>my app is setup in ~/MyApp.</li>
  <li>I don't have write access to the root.</li>
  <li>I only have FTP access to the server (i.e., I am not an IIS admin and I can't login to the machine)</li>
  <li>I am trying to use FCKeditor in my subdir application</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here is my folder structure:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>/<br>
    | -MyApp<br>
    | | - Bin<br>
    | | | *FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll<br>
    | | *Default.aspx<br>
    | | *web.config</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is the <code>&lt;runtime&gt;</code> section  of ~/MyApp/web.config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;runtime&gt;
      &lt;assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"&gt;
          &lt;probing privatePath="MyApp;MyApp/bin" /&gt;
      &lt;/assemblyBinding&gt;
   &lt;/runtime&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried all sorts of things to get  to work.  In the Fusion logs, my privatePath dirs don't shows up in the probing paths.</p>
