HELP: ActiveX Control on webform

[VB Programmer]

I am going to use an ActiveX control on my webform.

1. How can I set it up so that if a user views the web page and doesn't
have the ActiveX control it immediately/automatically downloads it from a
predefined location?

2. How do I handle registering it on their machine (with 'regsvr32'?), or
do I even need to do this? (This ActiveX control is an unmanaged,
non-server control.)

Thanks,
Robert

Hi


Make an internet install CAB file and reference the CAB file with the
CODEBASE tag in your OBJECT tag

The CAB file should contain a setup program for the control that installs
the control/registers it in the system registry

<OBJECT ID="myControl" CLASSID="CLSID:whatever"
CODEBASE="http://WHERE.com/MYCONTROL">
......
