Hi

I'd like some advice please.

I have a project concerning client-server ActiveX, it is composed of several .dll and .ocx components made in both C++ and VB 6.0.

It runs a linux server and microsoft clients.

Currently I distribute a .CAB file that is promted for download when the user enters the page .. through OBJECT tag (see below).

<OBJECT id=idname height=0 width=1 classid='clsid:F44418-9448-444B-B448-54444444444C' CODEBASE='/path/cabname.CAB#Version=1,1,0,0'> (parameters) </OBJECT>.

The problem is that I want a simple way to make it into an executable install file that can be distributed in a normal fashion.

I am quite prepared to purchase software if I have to.

I have tried several things, but seems unable to make an executable that ends up with a fully functional client-server interaction the way one gets when running the CAB file.

Suggestions?

I can move around and register DLL's and OCX's but it seems like the abesence of .tracker and .opener in 'windows/Downloaded internet files' that creates a problem.

Any bit of advice could help.
/Thanks
