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?

For someone smart enough to be writing ActiveX controls, it is most strange
that you would ask what looks like a VC++ and/or VB question in a Microsoft
Access group.

I think you might have much better luck asking this question in one of the
22 VC++ groups that all start with microsoft.public.vc or one of the 36 VB
groups that all start with microsoft.public.vb.

Good luck.
