If so you need to create it as an ActiveX Control ..
But note, this will only work in IE and also only if the visitor accepts the security risk.
See this basic example on how to create an ActiveX (same as in VB6)

Tks Sal.
There's at least one installation package program that can package your VB6 application to be distributed from the Web - InstallShield. I don't know what others are available. If you don't want to use something like that you'll have to write your own Web app to distribute your VB6 app.
i think the guys in the wrong forum because he said he is using .NET and he is in VB6 forum :)Quote:

(Well, okay, .net can do it semi-internally and VB6 can't. But InstallShield has a product that installs any app from the Web.)
but youd have to pay for InstallShield I would expect.Quote:

I would assume that they're not the only ones who have made anything like that available, since it's not that complicated a program.
You create it as an ActiveX Control instead of an Exe project.Quote:

I think you're talking about developing code that runs as part of the web page (client-side) and luca90 was talking about distributing an exe project by having it install from the web.
If thats the case then just upload the Setup file and put a link to it ...
Otherwise if the browser uses embedded code to install a file on the user's PC that will always be client side; Example being an ActiveX Control Cab File. Server side is only able to install on the Server's PC/s.
He could use Inno to create the 1 single Setup.exe file and when they click on the hyperlink it download's the file then runs the setup ... otherwise with P&D he'd have to zip them up or like mentioned before, create an ActiveX Cab file..
