Hi guys,

Maybe somebody can help me with the following problem:

I need to distribute a setup.exe over the Internet. This setup.exe is
packaged in a cab file.
When the HTML page is opened containing this cab file, the file setup.exe
starts running automatically.
Now I want to prevent this setup.exe from running every time the page is
opened. In other words, I want to run the setup.exe only once.

While installing .DDL and .OCX files you can register them in the registry.
But that isn't possible with a .EXE file.

Is there another way to let Internet Explorer handle this?

Regards,

Maurice

Just a thought, but can you make the setup.exe an ActiveX EXE?  I'm not sure if IE will
recognize that it's already been run before...again, just a thought.

You could always have your DLL or OCX run the file if it hasn't been run before.  Of
course, this would depend on whether or not your DLL or OCX requires that file to run in
the first place...
