cab file delivery failing recently

Since a few days this is driving me crazy :

I have a site that delivers a CAB file containing some DHTML code via an
OBJECT tag. The CAB file is signed with Verisign. This is working allright
for many years now :



<OBJECT classid=java:com.ms.wfc.html.DhModule height=1 id=myid width=1 ...
VIEWASTEXT>

<PARAM NAME=__CODECLASS VALUE=MyClient>

<PARAM NAME=CABBASE VALUE="MyClient.CAB#Version=1,2,3,4">

</OBJECT>



This HTML file nor the CAB file have been modified for 3 years. And now,
since a few days, with some of my clients their Internet Explorer fails to
deliver the CAB file. Actually, IIS on the server does not receive any
request for the CAB file, whereas for the clients where the code works fine,
IIS nicely logs their CAB file request.



I suspect that some recent Windows Update has broken the delivery mechanism
for the CAB file, and that the problem appears when the user cleaned up his
Temporary internet files, so that a fresh download of the CAB file is
needed...

I tried to alter the version number from 1,2,3,4, or set it to -1,-1,-1,-1,
or to remove the version alltogether.

(sorry for cross-posting, but this is driving me crazy)

Any suggestion ? Any clue ?
 
Yo tengo el mismo problema.
Me di cuenta que al instalar la actualización de seguridad acumulativa para
Internet Explorer (896727) ya no abria el archivo CAB.
Desinstala la actualización 896727 y el archivo CAB se va a ejecutar.
Es la única solución que encontre.
