The easer way is to use the windows installer and tick ActiveX installation.
This implies that all your website users have installed VLC selecting its activex component installation (which is the default in last or upcoming VLC releases I think).

You can also use a cab file for ActiveX to automatically install VLC if needed maybe, the link from VLC_help focus this topic.

I dont want to setup VLC player.
i just want to setup VLC plugins for IE (or FireFox).
How must i do?

Plugins are just a glue between VLC and the browser. They will not work unless VLC is installed too.

If you install plugins only, you will have difficulties with installed VLC version vs the plugin one.

Thank thannoy, i got it.
I have somes question:
1. For example: At server-side, server streamed ok. (Server streamed a "song.MP3" file)
and at client-side, how to recieve that "song.MP3" with FLASH PLAYER on web browser? (Maybe without VLC plugin??)

2. How to install VLC plugins for FireFox, IE ONLINE AUTOMATICALLY??
For ex: when i go to a webpage, my web browser haven't VLC Plugin yet. How to install VLC plugins for FireFox, IE ONLINE AUTOMATICALLY??

and at client-side, how to recieve that "song.MP3" with FLASH PLAYER on web browser? (Maybe without VLC plugin??)

Use some Flash MP3 player and just point it to your http location where it can download the file/stream.

There isn't solution for that. You can in theory build ActiveX based installer, but it might not work in all environments.

you should know that not only is Active X one of the worst things you can allow on your computer (oh yea lets let web sites run executable code on my computer without my permission - f-ing stupidest idea you can think of) and IE (Internet Explorer) is crappy as hell and not safe from a security point of view unless you lock down every single thing and dont allow scripts to run and so on - make trusted zones and such - a lot of work - get Firefox and NoScript and you are all set

use anything other than IE - anf Firefox with NoScript is the best solution there is

the famous Steve Gibson from GRC.com and of course Security Now from TWiT.tv who was a huge IE fan has stopped using it because it is so hard to lock down - and he used firefox with noscript

this is the man who coined the term "SpyWare" he found the first known piece of spyware and called it spyware because of what it did - it is people like this that I trust when they tell me not to use a certian program due to security problems

I installed the VLC media Player and the VLC ActiveX Plugin for IE11, but i still can`t Play MJPEG Videos, did i understand something wrong or where is the fault? -.-

I have the same problem:
I've installed VLC by using SCCM. The Fireworks plugin is always installed, however, the Internet Explorer (version 11) is not always installed, although the feature is selected.
Even after manually do a regsvr32 on axvlc.dll it is not visible in the addons of IE 11.

We are using a x64 bit Windows 7 and x32 bit VLC installation.
The IE 11 tabs are 32bit so this is normal.

As a said before: it is SOMETIMES registered, sometimes not...
