ActiveX Download

[Godzilla]

Dear all,

We are having difficulty downloading ActiveX components for domain
users on Windows XP Pro machines. This problem was resolved by
modifying a registry key on all Windows 2000 Pro machines. However, it
does not seemed to work with XP Pro for some reason. I've searched and
read some of the solution suggested on some newsgroups, suggesting a
user with local admin privilege to log onto the XP Pro machine and
download the components that way... but would this not be too
cumbersome for about 500+ users?! Is there a better way to download the
ActiveX components?

Thanks.

You can create a batch file or vbs file to install the controls through Group
Policy or a log on script. There is an Appendix in the Project Server
installation guide that details how to manually install the controls by
copying across the .ocx and .dll files and then registering them. You can do
this through a script. The controls are in two .cab files located with the
Project Server web site files (normally C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
Project Server 2003\IIS...).

You need to register the files in the order defined in the install guide. I
would also suggest creating an uninstall script as well.
