Question

Deploying ActiveX Document(Urgent)

Asked by: tirupur_selva

We have opened an ActiveX Document Dll project and added few functionalities to the user document. We have created the Dll for the same. We have further created the HTM version of the project through Package and Deployement Wizard.
It runs perfectly on the machine in which it was created. But, it does not run on other machines. Even if we refer(absolute path from the browser) the same document on the machine in which it was deployed, it does not run.

In the deployment wizard we have selected the package type as 'Internet Package' instead of the default 'Standard Package'.

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Selva

Here's a good place to start:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q167/3/80.asp

Or this:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/4/31.asp

But my best advice would be to use ASP instead, which has a much better track record, is  much better supported and will deliver robust web apps with less than a tenth of the headaches.

Looks to me like the DLL is not being installed on the machine... you must be sure to have the codebase attribute set in the HTML page.  Also it looks like you could possibly have a different compilation of the DLL file.  This will happen if you dont have the application set to binary compatibility each time u recompile.  You must be sure the the GUID stays the same for the dll because thats how its called via the web page.  Either the web page itself is calling the wrong guid or the guid is being changed each time u recompile.

*Note  Keep in mind that just because it runs on the current machine does not mean it will run on others... the development machine is not a good test.  The others are. reason why is because you have to be sure the DLL made the initial download to the machine.. and the HTML page being used is calling that particular DLL.

Paul.. i dont give links nor do i read them. so i dont need to read your links.  if someone wanted links they wouldnt be here asking the question (they could look it up). I would appreciate it if people would not assume ones knowledge. If i had known (read the links) i would have not responded to the question.  I am not in need of points.. (have 2000) so i did it to help not to read your responses, im only concerned with the person asking the question. u can have the points Paul ok.

<Going off topic at length :)>
I link for practicality.

Oftentimes there are copyright issues, where you are allowed to link to a site, but not re-post it.  In the case of MSDN or the Knowledge Base, I tried posting articles a couple of times, but found that they make a question so long that no-one wants to load and read them.  You will find most of the top experts here post a link when it is more practical.

It is not so much that I am concerned about the points as people's behaviour at the site.  There are quite a few people that lock questions indiscriminately (I think in your case it was just that you didn't read my links :) ) and if I don't comment on it, the problem will only continue to get worse.

I understand if you didn't read my link, however, if you didn't, then you shouldn't post as an answer, since you didn't know that I *didn't* already post the same information in those links.  Most of the top experts in this category will post as a comment unless (a) They are certain that their response will solve the problem.
(b) They are certain theirs is the best way to solve the problem (ie, there may be no other 'good' solutions.)

It requires a certain amount of experience with certain kinds of problems to make that judgement.  In the case of Active X Docs, there is no way to know what is wrong until you actually try some fixes, so I will always post comments to questions like this.

Anyway, thanks for responding.  I don't mind if you unlock the question or not, but thanks for taking the time to listen to me.

i have just read your links.. and i think they actually do say (Generally) what i was discussing.. these may be the same links i used when i had the problem myself (3 years ago) but the user should use both of us for the information. but u should recieve the credit.  thanks for the explanation Paul.. i think that is very noble of you.

>but u should recieve the credit

Until we get some feedback from tirupur_selva we won't know if any of this works, so the question is still unsolved.  

>when i had the problem myself (3 years ago)

I had this and so many other problems with the technology that I heartily recommend everyone stay as far away from it as humanly possible.

>thanks for the explanation Paul

You're very welcome.
