Software Deployment

Maybe this old thread may help:

Here are some info that may help:
To identify which files needed to install the component, we need a machine with the ActiveX controller
already installed.

First you need to identify the ActiveX controller in "c:\windows\downloaded program files".
Open properties on the ActiveX component, and document the ID, the files needed with path's.

Search the registry and export
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\[ID]
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\[ID]

expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\[ID] , and look for ProgID
expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\[ID] , and look for Typelib
expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\[ID] , and look for VersionIndependentProgID
Export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\[ProgID]
Export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\[VersionIndependentProgID]
Export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\[Typelib]

If you can't capture it you're going to have to find a tool with which to extract the COM information and output it to a .REG and import that .REG into the relevant tables. No offence intended but given that you're asking the question in the first place, I'd say that that was probably beyond your capabilities.

Why can you not capture?!?


Yes that was beyond my capabilities? why the question? Only active X i did was using the setup capture. This one i can't because i've been given the files as attachment. They have disabled the website that could install it automatically.

If you can help, please feel free to do it.

i've been given the files as attachment. So? Right-click the INF and choose 'Install', just as you would for any INF. I suspect the MFC42.EXE contains an installer for the MS C++ runtime files. I doubt very much you'll need those so try without for now.

Thanks for th info, this was very helpful and helped me understand and build my activeX.

Very appreciated
