I have a big 5mb download that is done automatically with the following:

<OBJECT ID='PLUG' CLASSID="clsid:556dde35-e955-11d0-a707-000000521900"
CODEBASE="http://google.com/someprogram.exe">
</OBJECT>

I want a progress bar to be shown to it and want to know how. Here are
the requirements of the answer:

* CAN use javascript, any html, etc. to get the bytes progress that
would be good enough.
* must be compatible with at least most recent versions of internet explorer
* saying "it is not possible" is not an answer I will pay for.
* can NOT use real java, activex, flash, or other things (I already
know the solution to have it download a small activex control which in
turn downloads the program) because I don't want to lose % of browser
compatibility due to many security settings by doing it or have an
EXTRA second "install dont install" popup for the user.

Which component is it? Have you developped it?

the component has nothing to do with the progress bar I want to
indicate how long till its done downloading.
