    how to make a dll available to user for download from my web site?

    Hi,

    how to make a dll available to user for download from my web site?

    The dll is called CAPICOM and it s a microsoft dll. I need it to be downloaded by the user and registered on his machine, in order to do some client encryption stuff.

    If I have the dll on my server, how to make the asp.net web page in order to alow the client browsing the site to download the dll file and register it on his local machine ?

    Thanks
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Is that dll allowed to be redistributed?

    Hi,
    Yes it s included in the following msi:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=25281

    I want the browser to ask the client if he d like to install the dll/msi only the first time, but subsequent requests we don t want to ask him all the time, only when the msi/dll is not installed/registered. We usually see this same behaviour for web sites trying to deploy ActiveX to our machine.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Just have a link pointing to the file(s). You real problem is how will you know if the files are installed in the user computer.You may need to create an activeX control for that and no i don't know the procedure.
    I would just putted a link.If he is "stupid" to re-install then fine.
