I hate ActiveX
-
Just developed an ActiveX component in ATL, to download on some internet clients (throght signed CAB file and stuff). Problem is: some users have windows xp installed, and are logged on as users. The default configuraton for users on XP is: 1) they can't install ANYTHING on Downloaded Program Files 2) they can't register the components because they don't have WRITE permission to the registry. How can I download my components now ? I'M DOOMMED ! :mad::mad: I think I should move to Java applets... Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter

But an administrator needs to give permissions on my .MSI. I'm deploying the component throught the internet. I'm still hating ActiveX... ;P Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter

And the program gets installed on behalf of the Windows service.

Unfortunately the IE AX installation mechanism only works with CABs. --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Latest art~!@#2rDFA#@(#*%$Rfa39f3fqwf--= NO CARRIER
