Manual install of ActiveX componenets

[J Burford Fields]

How does one make a CD for the deployment of activex controls to PWA
clients when IE cannot be trusted and office cannot be installed?

Found it. Sorry.

Problem is that that page has a download that won't work with SP1 or
later.

What must one do to manually deploy the current SP2a version?

 

[Paul Conroy]

Create a script/batch file which registers each of the components in order by
using regsrv32.exe

ie

c:\windows\system32\regsrv32.exe c:\temp\pj11enuc.dll

This script can be initiated from Logon script, desktop shortcut, cd.

Alternatively if you are using SMS, then they can be packaged and deployed
automatically.

The ActiveX controls can be installed via the logon script, via shortcut on
desktop po

Thanks Paul. That is certainly a good way to automate a manual
process. It would make approvals easier (possible) if this were part
of the manufacturer's tested release of the Service Pack. I have to
sell the help desk on assisting me to deploy a solution in a security
sensitive environment.

Looking through the various pages on ActiveX components associated with
Project Server, I'm at a bit of a loss as to which ones match the SP2a
upgrade and where to get them. OWC? I'm suspicious that some of the
information on the web site is dated and will point me at older
versions of the componenets... i.e.

Re-reading the prerequisites for SP2a, it seems to me that "Office 2003
SP2 level clients" needs to be added as a pre-requisite for Project
Server SP2a in secure environments. An alert for the need to deploy
MSP SP2 to MSPP clients, otherwise, would also help those of us whose
reputations depend on predictable outcomes.
