I know this has been discussed but can't seem to find a resolution to my issue. I appreciate any advice!

I have an ActiveX OCX that uses picformat32.dll for some image handling operations. I've packaged up my OCX and referenced components into a CAB for deployment via IE using the VB Package and Deployment Wizard. The browser picks up the OCX and attempts to execute, but fails because the ocx's API call expects picformat32.dll to be in the Windows\system32 folder, and it's not getting placed there.

I've downloaded the Win SDK and handbuilt my INF and used cabarc to try and solve the problem, but nothing seems to work.

How to I get the picformat32.dll file - which is included in the CAB - to get copied to the client's Windows\system32 directory?

I don't want to have the users run a setup.exe program to install it, I was hoping that the browser could do it automatically.

Sorry for the newbish question. Happy Holidays!
