Installing & Using ActiveX Controls

We have a website that uses multiple activeX controls that have
normally been downloaded and installed by IE.

Since individuals are having to click on multiple accept boxes for
each control, we wanted to stream line this by delploying a MSI
installer.

Everything almost works, however after we install the new controls via
MSI IE does not recognize the new controls are installed on the
system, unless I close out IE and open it back up again. I checked
the registry after installing the controls and the registry is updated
with the new location, but IE is still using the DLL that is in the
old location. Is there any way to programatically update IE to start
using the new activeX control without closing and opening IE again.

Thanks,
William
