Thoughts ??We use a number of activex conrols in our application and had the same
concerns with registration of controls and updates etc. We chose to move to
a registration free environment using an updated manifest file for the
application. We put the controls with all of our runtime files and
executables and run them without registering them in windows at all. It
just means we have to send and updated manifest files when we send updated
controls to customers. I have attached a zip file with the instructions and
the manifest file for our app to use as a reference.
