ActiveX Registration

[Guest]

I created an ActiveX control using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and will use it
with HTML page , the problem I have that I need not to foce the client to
Register the ActiveX in order to use, i need the registration process to be
done automatically , how can I achieve this?

You have three options, the first and the second work in any windows
version, the third only works with XP / 2003

First option: Make a setup program which must call to DllRegisterSever
function exported by your ActiveX.

Second option: The client can call DllRegisterSever before begin to use
your ActiveX component so you ensure that your component is registrered.


Third option: Use registration free COM

May you help me with the first choice.

You can use some setup creation application like innosetup or so. There are
many free available. Or you can create a setup project inside VS 2003.
