Hi,

I need to download/install a file to my application users. This file will not be directly used by the browser but by other application. However, from my web application I want to know if the user has the file installed and if not, download/install it.

The file is a .js script that should be place inside a directory application in Program files directory.

So, my question is: Can a cab file have an install object that let me place the file in that directory, and mark in IE the cab as been installed (maybe a dummy object) so I can know if it was, in fact, installed by each user?

Maybe there is an easy way of doing this?

Thank you
