IE CreateObject ActiveX Download

[pshelfo]

I have my IE 6 configured to automatically download signed activex controls without prompting the user. I have created the following script which launchs an internal HTML web site in a scaled back IE window. When the application is running in the IE window created by vbscript the ActiveX download does not occur. Anyone know why? Is the CreateObject function different?

' Vbscript to Load Prototype Application

'Variables
Dim objIE
Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

'Internet Explorer Settings
objIE.AddressBar = False
objIE.FullScreen = False
objIE.MenuBar = False
objIE.Resizable = True
objIE.Silent = True
objIE.StatusBar = False
objIE.TheaterMode = False
objIE.ToolBar = True
objIE.Visible = 100
objIE.Visible = True

'Load Prototype
objIE.Navigate "

http://application.html"

But that's quite a horrible thing to do? Why don't you use simply window.open with some feature if so desired?

dim sfeature
sfeature="location=no, fullscreen=no, menubar=no, resizable=true, status=no, toolbar=no"
window.open "
