Windows7: .NET ActiveX doesnt work when installed from cab file
Hi,
I've developed .NET ActiveX control, wrapped it in cab file, wrote the inf, signed the cab file using generated certificate and it all works fine - after visiting a html page the control is installed from the cab file and the activeX code is executed.
In Internet options in IE i've enabled everything which I think is connected with activeX. However, i had to:
In Windows XP
- add the server to trusted sites
In WIndows 7
- run IE as an administrator only to install the cab file (in normal mode IE asks whether to install the cab file every time i visit the page and it doesnt install activeX from msi)
- close the IE and run it normally to execute the code (in administrator mode activeX is not executed. The error is from my html page:
Some error happens, error message is: undefined
Why it doesnt work at 100% in one of these mode? )
Here is the HTML code, the html is in Internet zone or the Intranet zone, doesnt matter:
[CODE]
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>my webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
<OBJECT id="DemoActiveX" classid="clsid:4B11GF34-96AC-4B9D-T05E-45D23EA9MCED" codebase="mySignedCab.cab"></OBJECT>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var obj = document.DemoActiveX;
if (obj) {
alert(obj.SayHello());
} else {
alert("Object is not created!");
}
} catch (ex) {
alert("Some error happens, error message is: " + ex.Description);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
[/CODE]
