Downloading CAB file
-
What are the conditions in which a CAB fiel refuses to overwrite a previous downloaded instance in IE. Is it the time-stamp of the CAB file;or do CAB files need to mention a versioning too. We are downloading a CAB file from a jsp with a OBJECT tag. After we modify the CAB file and repackage it ,we find that CAB file does not download the new instance again,as the old instance is already downloaded into the client box. We are creatign the CAB file with visual studio. If versionign is the answer to overwriting downloaded CAB files from IE - how do we version CAB files in 'VS Deployment type of projects'

You need to increase the version attribute in the web page. The modified date of the CAB itself is irrelevant. Think about it, the original CAB is discarded after it's installed, and even if it were kept around, IE would have to download the entire CAB file every time you visited the page just to check the date.
