C# ActiveX in CAB

[gnjunge]

Hi, Description: I had to create a C# ActiveX to work in IE (without an IIS server, so I can't use the option of showing window forms in IE). My final project output does not only exists out of the C#/ActiveX dll but also some referenced third party dlls (not ActiveX, just .NET). The app works, when I compile it for COM interop and then add the right <object> tag in an html file it works fine. But in order to redistribute the app I need to enter something in the codebase parameter of the object tag. This is a CAB file. Problem: I tried to add a CAB setup project to my solution, but when I compile my project, and the CAB gets build, it only adds the C#/ActiveX dll to my CAB file and NOT the referenced dlls (who don't have to be registered as a COM object but just have to sit in the same directory as the C#/ActiveX dll). Pointers: Can I use some sort of normal setup, an exe file, as codebase? or how do I setup the inf file in the CAB to do what I want? Did anybody else run into this problem? thanks, Gidon
