You do not need write permissions for ASPNET account on your production server.
The best way to extract the CuteEditor files are to install the component on your workstation, extract the files there and include the files into your deployment package when updating your production server.
It is never a good idea to install packages like this directly to your production server.
The fact that the files are embedded into the assembly, simply remove the need for å custom install program.
I like the fact that I can replace the images, and modify some of the functions by accessing the contect in CuteEditor_Files.
If all the Images and .aspx files had been hidden into the assembly, no customization would be possible.
