I'm developing an application that includes an activex (.ocx) control. The
control is written, working, digitally signed and timestamped and sitting on a
web page ready for use but unfortunately, it doesn't autodeploy to
non-administrative users,despite all my IE tweaking and cursing.
After some research, it appears I need to publish the control inside a .msi
file in AD, which I have done, including the neccessary registry tweak to force
IE to look in AD for missing controls. However, I'm having a little trouble
getting it to work, I suspect because of the controls ClassID.
I've embedded the control in a .msi file and the web page hosting the control
includes the ClassID of the control itself. However, I can find no way of
specifying the controls ClassID, either in the .msi creation process or in the
process of publishing the .msi to AD. Without this, I can't see how AD can know
the ClassID of the control and therefore how to find it. I can tell the AD
publishing process to use the ClassID but can't tell where it's coming from.
Web matters are not one of my specialities so if anybody has any suggestions,
even if they are blindingly obvious things a newbie should know from birth,
I'll be grateful to hear them.
Thanks
Angus
