Now that I know how to create an ActiveX control (OCX) and
register it on my machine (using regsvr32)and run it from Internet Explorer, my question is that:

What's the easiest way to achieve the same thing for other Internet users I mean how can arrange thigs so that they can use my ActiveX control on their browsers just like a Java applet?

I used Package & Deployment Wizard and it tells me it can pack my component into a Internet CAB file or a setup CAB file but I couldn't understand any of them I mean I managed to create an Internet CAB file but I don't know if there's
an automatic way of downloading and registering that ActiveX control on the remote user's machine so it can be run from his/her Internet Explorer (without making the user struggle with regsvr32 or anything like that).

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Usually when Creating an ActiveX Object, The User has to have that Object installed on their machine. Just make sure that the User installed. A generic setup From your Site ususally does the trick.

Another Thing, The user must also have the Permisions set up Correctly to use the ActiveX controls.(IE5) If they do not, your page will have an error on it and Nothing will run. All they will see is a "error on page" in the status Bar of their Browser.

Hope this Helps
