Hi,
I am experiencing problems getting my VB ActiveX DLL to download and register on client
machines.
The DLL references ADO 2.5, Word and Outlook 9 objects.
When I use a client machine (intranet) I get asked if I want to allow the DLL to download
and run, which I say yes to. The status bar of IE shows it loading the page and then
nothing happens. If I check the [\WinNT\Downloaded Program Files] folder the cabinet
file is not there.
If I un-register the DLL from my development machine and go to the web-page I get prompted
as before but this time the cab file is put in the Downloaded Program Files folder and the
page works perfectly.
How can I figure out why the cab file is not working? If I extract the cab file manually
to the client machine and register the DLL using regsvr32 the page works but I need it
to download and register itself as it should be doing.....
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Cheers,
Stu
