Using a CAB file within VC

[OBRon]

Hi, I have an ActiveX control and its dependend DLLs within a CAB file that we use within our web application. I also use this same control in a fat VC client. We currently deploy the control for our fat client by an install shield script. I'd like to get away from having to deploy this control, since I know it's sitting on a local web server in a cab file. Is there an API set that allows me to reference the CAB file rather than bundling the control in my setup script? In other words, I'd like my fat client to instantiate the object via an http call to my web server and pull down the control rather than me having to wrap it in my install script. Any ideas appreciated. Ron Ward
