Hello friends
I have created an activex dll object and it works fine when registered manually. I want that activex to install in client browser, if already not. I got from searching that, that can be achieved by creating CAB file.
I have created the CAB file and set it the codebase property of the activex object
It asks for downloading, but not getting installed on client browser.
Any one please lead me to the correct way of building the CAB file or where ever the mistake is. Please ...

I don't know how to create a setup for an ActiveX object developed using C#.

Thanks for your valuable reply.
I created the CAB file using CAB Project and I read about it as, "CAB Project is used to install activeX components on browsers". They were also referring about INI file. Will you please guide me on creating Setup/Cab with INI file.
Thanks

I thought that ActiveX is unmanaged; that is, not .Net and not C#. Am I wrong? Did you develop the ActiveX object using C#? If so, then what type of project did you create?

Regardless of how the control was created, the most common way to solve your problem is to create a setup for it. If you use Visual Studio to create the setup, then it will generate the code to register the control. Registering the control is simply a matter of calling the registration function in the ActiveX DLL, but you should just let the setup do that for you.
