Hello everyone,

My question is:
Is there an ActiveX “only” client/install?

Reason for question:
I don’t want to install the full blown application on my user’s computers at work. I just want an ActiveX install that does not include a client side application for browsing other feeds. We are within our own firewall(s) and they really only need an ActiveX component to see the stream that is embedded within our webpage.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies and help to this question.

looks the answer is "NO" since at least 2 dll's in /plugins are required (if u want the vlc used as a player on client's PC).

in my case, the question becomes :

How to deploy the axvlc.dll and 2 plugins dll's?

How to write the inf to do it?

I am a newbiw in ActiveX deployment. Any one can tell me how to do it ?

Thanks,
Marcus

Thanks Marcus,

Well I hope that someone helps out on developing something like your trying to do. I think it is just bad to have a client install everything just to view a stream.

Thanks again and please someone help Marcus out in developing this. It is really needed.

Thanks~

I have built my smallest activeX :

axvlc.dll + libaout_directx_plugin.dll + libvout_directx_plugin.dll

now I am trying to build a cab to deploy it.

Please let me know if any one can help for the testing!!

Just can deply to the same PC is meaningless ...

VMware is your friend...

Not sure for *ix, but there is a free version of vmware for windows available - setup as many virtual PCs as you like that way, with whatever OS inside them you like, then using them as testbeds
