Hi all,
Currently we are planning to migrate an application which runs from the web and includes the registration of an ActiveX control through the CODEBASE element to a new version. The problem is that most of the application new versions change the ActiveX and therefore
requires the installation of the new ActiveX control, since most of our users are non-administrative users I created a batch file from the .INF file included in the distribution unit and then converted it to an executable file, however after running it although
it seems to run fine the installation does not have the desired result and once I navigate to the application site users are prompted to install the ActiveX control.
NOTES:
1- For the distribution of this distribution unit the organization uses Microsoft System Center Distribution Agent.
2 - The alternative of creating and MSI Package from the .CAB file and then distribute it through Active Directory GPO is not an option due to Organization restrictions.
Next is the ActiveX.INF file content and the equivalent batch file I created to accomplish the task.
ActiveX.INF
;INF file for ecNetClient.ocx
;DestDir can be 10 for Windows directory, 11 for Windows\System(32) directory, or left blank for the Occache directory.
