Question ID: 723516
I have created an ActiveX DLL that is a BHO, I used the tutorial at
http://builder.com.com/5100-31-5078098.html?tag=search#CodeExample29
to create mine. I changed it up a little to suit my needs but I am
having trouble installing it on the users computer. I do not want to
use the Package & Deployment Wizard, I would like to use my own
program.

My install program copies some DLL's to the users computer and then
registers them, it also edits a registry key. This all works good, but
when I use Internet Explorer to test out the BHO it doesn't work.

The anwser I am looking for will be a program that can install my BHO
on the users machine (Which will unlikly have the required VB dlls),
it will also be able to install the BHO if I decide to change it
later. I want the program to be able to run with visibility off. For
example the user will click on the executable and the program will
install without the user having to select anything. The user will then
be able to browse to the specific URL (http://localhost), and the BHO
will work.

I have all these programs pretty much created, I am just having
problems with my install program. This should be pretty easier for a
skilled programmer to find the problem and fix it, as I'm sure it is
probably a beginners mistake.

I have included a link to the two project files, the BHO and my
installtion project. Feel free to suggest any changes that need to be
made to run better.



Thanks for the help, and I will try to anwser any questions you may
have as soon as possible.

Matt

necessary DLLs, and 1.6 MB for the necessary DLLs.

To install a BHO, call regsvr32/s in the command line to register it
redistribute VB DLLs with your BHO
also, make sure third party BHOs are enabled in Internet Explorer.
Some users may turn BHO off, or use Fire Fox.
