Hi,
i have created an ActiveX control and I have packaged it in a CAB file thru the PD Wizard. The last entry in the inf file which should be:

[AddToRegistry]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{---classid---}\Implemented Categories\{---classid1---}"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{---classid---}\Implemented Categories\{---classid2---}"

is not coming.

the last entry which comes in my inf file is :

[AddToRegHook]
InfSection=DefaultInstall2

[DefaultInstall2]
AddReg=AddToRegistry


the control seems to download but, when i try to see its properties in the c:\windows\download program files directory, it says, it is not installed (status is unknown).
Please help me come out of this problem

Thanks in Advance,

 
All I found in the MSDN is this:
its a bug if you are rinning win 95 or 98 or you did not set the component as safe for scripting and safe for Initialization.

Did you use Active X controls in Internet pages before?
I had soo much problems with it on NT machines that I prefer not to use it. If you cannot digisign your control most explorers won't even try to download and or install it.
