Manual installation of ActiveX controls for Service Pack 3

V

Viren Saini

I am currently on Project Server SP2a and MS Project Professional SP3. I need
to install Project Server 2003 Service Pack 3.

The problem is that most of the users access PWA through CITRIX. So, i need
to know the URL from where i can download the ActiveX controls for SP3 and
push it down to the Citrix desktop. I am NOT ABLE to locate the URL from
where i can download the ActiveX controls and install it manually on the
client Machines.

All i could find was the download to install Project Web Access (PWA)
ActiveX controls manually on client workstations which is pointing to SP1
ActiveX controls
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f7-e4a9-4d95-bf0f-ceb0a06f19d6&displaylang=en

Please help!

Regards,

Hi,

For our SP2a to SP3 migration project we had the same challenge. How to
solve it:
- setup a test Project Server 2003 SP3 with anykind of MUI you need
- copy the files located under IIS Virtual Root\Objects to a location
- create an ASP page which allows you to download and install the PWA client,
something like
<html>
<body>
<object ID="ProjLang" CLASSID="clsid:AF9A1421-E128-4D5F-A37E-039F305867B9"
CODEBASE="pjcintl.cab#version=11,2,2005,1801" TYPE="application/x-oleobject"
STYLE="display: none">
</object ID>
<object ID="PrAdoInfo" CLASSID="clsid:4A3CBDDD-C4DC-4C38-B44F-704DAEF628AE"
CODEBASE="pjclient.cab#version=11,2,2005,1801" TYPE="application/x-oleobject"
STYLE="display: none">
</object ID>
</body>
</html>

The above information is an extract from the download.Asp page from the
Download folder of the Project Server. This piece of code is responsible to
download & install the PWA ActiveX components. Please adjust them according
your download.asp page.
You can find the ID on an existing workstation with the ActiveX components
installed, properties of the pjAdoInfo3 class. The ID's are the same between
SP2a and SP3, however the version are of course different.

Of course once you have an SP3 server running you could use this server to
download and implement the PWA ActiveX components without doing the above
steps.

Grtz, Kurt
