On a clean install of windows, a couple of websites i visit

require the installation of an activeX control.

the activeX control (after installation) can be found in

C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\

Right clicking the installed control and choosing properties will

open on the general TAB and at the bottom is Codebase:

The CodeBase is a web adress to a *.cab file containing the activeX control.

This address can be copied, and the cab file downloaded.

Anyone know how to install the activeX control from this cab file?

I'd like to add this to my uA media if i can figure out how to get them installed.

Try Using HFSLIP and putting the cabs in the HFCABS folder. This site has the instructions.

I gave your program a go.

It wasnt successful.

Hera are the 4 activeX controls i tested it with.

msn_messenger_addon_1

msn_messenger_addon_2

MSNzone_games_1

MSNzone_games_2

BTW, your program completely rebuilt my driver.cab file for no reason.

4769 files before rebuild, same after .. none of the files in the cabs were added.

It was already rebuilt once by the RVM integrator to add files and

use max compression.

Just thought i'd help ya bugfix since you had me try it.

Solved this small issue on my own.

It was simply a matter of extracting the files from the cab,

placing them into C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\

installing the inf's and running regsvr32 on appropriate dll/ocx.

This doesnt work for all activeX control modules.

I also found that i needed to do a registry capture to make

the activeX controls work properly without reinstallation.
