Dynamic codebase URL - ActiveX control asks for signature verification but then stops
Sascha Kimmel
I have a problem regarding the installation of an ActiveX object which is
embedded in a webpage. The first (working) object tag asks the user to
confirm the installation and after confirming starts the installation
process whereas the second version simply stops without any notification
after the user confirms the installation.
The second version is used to count the number of downloads and the PHP
script simply returns a HTTP Location header pointing to "dl/myprogram.exe".
The first one looks as follows:
<object classid="CLSID:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"
id="MYPROGRAM"
codebase="dl/myprogram.exe"
onerror="parent.window.close()"
width="1" height="1">
</object>
The second one looks as follows:
<object classid="CLSID:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"
id="MYPROGRAM"
codebase="getmyprogram.php?t=os"
onerror="parent.window.close()"
width="1" height="1">
</object>
Does anyone know why this does not work as expected?
I search the MS knowledgebase and didn´t find anything. Didn´t find anything
at groups.google.com either.
Many thanks in advance!
