Run an ActiveX Control without installing

There is an ActiveX control that is embedded into a webpage. I need to
use this paticular control however our work PCs restrict access from
writing to the local harddrive. As a result the ActiveX control won't
install and I can't use it.

Does anyone know anyway that I can run this control? It is easy to
download the .cab file that the control comes in includes an .inf, .ocx
and .dll file.

The .inf inside the cab reads:
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0

[Add.Code]
batchprint.ocx=batchprint.ocx
xerces-c_1_3.dll=xerces-c_1_3.dll

[batchprint.ocx]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
clsid={80922B68-D8DE-11D5-8D10-0050DAD09327}
FileVersion=1,0,2,4
DestDir=11
RegisterServer=yes

[xerces-c_1_3.dll]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
FileVersion=1,3,0,0
DestDir=11


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Sincerely grateful
 
Thanks Jon,

perhaps what I was hoping is that you could run it either by attaching
it to a VB project of some kind or by putting it anywhere other than on
c:

Surely if activeX is part of OLE there must be some way to run it.

Don't think you can run an ActiveX control without it being installed.
