    Default Question: Auto-download ActiveX control if user does not have

    I have a webform that uses an ActiveX control. I want the user to
    automatically download the ActiveX control if he doesn't have it. How can I
    do this? Also, does it need to be registered too? Can this be automated?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi,
    Create a CAB for that ActiveX and use the Object CodeBase attribute to
    set the CAB location. IE will check if the current version on client
    machine meets the one in the object tag. If not the cab will be called
    and execute.
