Hi all,

Please forgive me for the cross-post.

I'm working on a web-browser program, which uses the IE WebBrowser control.
It may be used by person's who do not have IE installed on their systems.
All the registry entries - as far as I know - have been provided for by my
program, as well as a fav's folder and history cache.

What else, if anything, needs to be accounted for for the control to work
properly on a comp without IE. (except for regsvr32 and all that), or will
it work properly. I don't want the users of the program to have to install
IE before installing this program ... that would be ridiculous.

So, do I have any chance of this working? And would anyone (without
Internet Explorer) be willing to do a beta-test?

Thanks In Advance,
Houston McClung III

AFIK, that is against licencing -- IE must be installed on the machine for
you to use the control.

Isn't IE always installed? I thought you could only de-install the icon on
the desktop.

Good old Win95 doesn't have it installed by default, or it is optional,
don't remember which.

That was a really good operating system.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the advice. I didn't know there could be
a licensing issue. Let me ask one more thing about it ... on a similiar
note, are there any licensing issues involved with distributing a component
with the executable, like if the setup wizard adds mscomctl32.ocx or
something like that to the setup.exe, or to a setup.zip (if for whatever
reason I'd need to do it), file?
