distribute assemblies via htm object tag

[lh]

i'm trying to get the client to download new dlls contained in a cab file on
my server.
I'm using html's object tag to enable the downloading of the cab file.
My problem is that the user is using a cached version of the cab file if
they have not changed their browser settings to download a new version of
the served page on every page.

Is there a way to force the user to download and user a newer version of the
..Cab file? I looked at <Object>'s #Version parameter, but it doesnt seem
to do the trick.

Thanks
Lyndon

the cab file name should change with the version (i.e. append the version to
the file name).

note: the rules change with xp service pack 2. in this case the cab must be
signed, and match the signature of the original cab.

Ok. I will do. Thanks Bruce.
I was thinking that the version should just be property of the CAB. That is
why I wasn't having any luck.
