ActiveX Unknown Publisher

[dsheller]

Sorry for posting this in a second forum... but I have a feeling the ActiveX one gets very little traffic.

Alright well I went through CodeBlock's tutorial in the codebank and went to the site he gave:

http://www.ascertia.com/

Now, I get to the certificate it gives me and put it in to a *.p7b. From there I use cert2spc and convert it. Now I try to use signcode to sign it but it gives me this error:

Windows cannot build the requested certification path.

However, when I use makecert and build my own cert it works perfectly... I know the description was rather vague but maybe someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong or how to do it in the first place! Thanks.

Alright, well I got it signed... but now I'm still having problems with people saying that their InternetExplorer has blocked the installation of this Activex control... I have no idea what to do next!

Installation of an ActiveX control is dependant upon the permissions of the user. In a business environment (Domain) the basic users usually dont have permissions for this. You would need to get the Network Admin to install the control for them or have him elevate their permissions.

Alright, well I'm going to need this to be deployed with ease of use on the client end so I think I should just abandon using Active X and switch over to JScript. JScript will accomplish what I am doing as well as be more portable to other browsers.
