Download my .ocx and 2 depending dll


Question

Hi,

I?m developing an ActiveX-control in VS C++ 6.0 (WinXP): works fine.

For deployment, I?m using VS.NET for making the Cab-file (New project: Cab

Project). Adds ocx and builds Cab: works fine.

Problem: The .ocx is depending on 2 other dlls, as it is now they are downloaded and registered manually: this works some times, some times it is "Dll Hell".... "Dll hell" occurs when updating ocx and dlls.... is there any way to force registration and so on? My belive is that it will work fine if I just adds the dll to the Cab File-project, could that be right? If so, how do I do it in VS.NET (I know how to add the files, but it?s not working when adding the depending dlls)?

I?m also a bit confused of the making of the Cab File, with VS.NET (Cab Project, OSD-file) it?s easy, but I don?t know what I?m doing... old tech, with INF-file, it was harder, but more open I guess?

Which is the best solution:wacko:case? :wacko:

ditto to what njlouch said

personally i never use the package and deployment wizard from visual studio.. its a major piece of crap

i only use NSIS or Setup Factory... NSIS is configuration-file driven, and Setup Factory is a drag & drop type of GUI setup.. NSIS is useful when youre not using a complex installation... Setup Factory has wizards and lots of screens to customize..
