how to register and silent install of activex dll's in client side by using vbscript

jayaram

hi sir,
I have written to register and silent install in client side in the following way by using vbscript.
But it gave an error as "failed to load", so please tel me correct code.
In this process I have to use DPFPDevX.dll,DPFPCtlX.dll,DPFPEngX.dll,DPFPShrX.dll.
These Dll files are available in "Activex" folder of "ActiveXWebsite" website.

"DIM oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
iReturn = oShell.Run("CMD /C regsvr32.exe ""http://localhost/aspnetvir/ActiveXWebsite/Activex/DPFPDevX.dll""", , True)"

But,
It works when I use following way but in my requirement i dont have to use this way

iReturn = oShell.Run("CMD /C regsvr32.exe ""D:\New folder\ActiveXWebsite\Activex\DPFPDevX.dll""", , True)

Hi, I've compiled a activeX dll and registered it on my server. I used the coding below (vbscript) to automatically download the dll, register it, and run it on the client side computer when the client run my page for the first time.

Questions:
1. Nothing is downloaded to the client pc when the client access to that page. May i know why?
2. Is XXX.dll necessary to be a digitally signed DLL?
3. How should I call the XXX.dll function?
e.g. Just set objdll=createobject(XXX.class1) will do?

4.In this situation i dont want to display command prompt. How to do?.

pleas tel me how to write code nd send me some sample code.

5.You sent the reply for my previous post like "D:\......"
but if some one wil use my application and he wil put in another directory, so tel me how to solve this
Hope to hear some response soon. Thanks in advance.
