Deploying ActiveX control via Active Directory.

Hello all,

I wish to deploy an activex control (a .OCX )file to a group of lab PC's via Active directory.

I understand that this can be done by creating an MSI in VB.net and then deploy the file that way. Will the deployment Register the OCX?

I would apreciate any examples of code required to deploy just that single file and if it can be done they way im asking.


Im using VB.net 2005

THank you!

This is not a VB.NET issue, but rather a deployment issue and, as such, should have been posted in the Application Deployment forum.

In the Solution Explorer, expand your Setup project and select your ActiveX controls. Open the Properties window and set the Register property appropriately. I'm no expert on this but I believe that vsdrpCOMSelfReg is the value you want.

THank you, Sorry for the wrong post spot. Ill re post in the other forum.

I see it's already too late but don't create duplicate posts. If you post in the wrong spot you should ask a moderator to move it.
