I have written a .Net Windows Control which I am hosting in Internet
Explorer 6/7 which is working.

The problem I am having is deploying this control to the client
machines. I have created a CAB file, referenced it in the codebase
property of my object tag and get a "Do you want to install ..."
dialogue appearing.

The installer is not working. Can anyone point me to a sample to
create cab/inf files that will install/register my assembly on a
client machine. I've tried adding setup.msi files to the CAB file and
using a hook to run msiexec /i serup.msi asper some examples but to no
avail.

Regards

Simon

the IE active/x installer is rather simple and uses a restricted inf file
(won't run an installer). it basically copies the ocx dll and supporting to a
folder and registers it:

IE supporting winforms is a dead techonology, thus the lask of
documentation. The current story is to use silverlight to host .net
components.
