cab download problem

[Jacques]

have an asp file that contains the following tag:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"
CODEBASE="mycab.cab#version=5,0,0,3"/>

the cab in question has the following .inf

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0

[Add.Code]
MyDLL.DLL=MyDLL.DLL

[BkmVisVersao.DLL]
clsid={11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}
FileVersion=5,0,0,3
hook=hook1

[Setup Hooks]
hook1=hook1

[hook1]
run=%EXTRACT_DIR%\setup.exe INST

the classid in the .inf is the classid for mydll.dll and the setup registers
mydll.dll

The problems are:
1) the cab is *always* downloaded and the setup is always fired
2) the next time i enter the site I need to wait a few seconds that seems to
be longer then the time needed to download the .cab (i'm testing in my
intranet and the cab is not that big 11M)


Why I'm being requested to install it every time ?
Can I remove the [Setup Hooks] Section ?

More info:
In some machine the time taken to load the site is normal. In others the
cab i snot (always) requested.

Thanks in advance,
Jacques

Hello,

Since the problem only occur on some of your computers, have you compared
the security level in IE (IE, click menu "tools/internet option/Security".
Also, you may try clear the IE cache and try again, will this fix the
problem?

Will try but can't see how security settings would cause the cab to be
downloaded every time.

Maybe I explained in a wrong way the problem. The cab *is* always
downloaded in every machine. What happens in different way from machine to
machine is the time it takes from opening the site and the cab install
taking place.

So , will it help after you remove the [Setup Hooks] Section ?

I do think this section is not needed. But this is not the problem. The
cab should not be downloaded at all then this section in the inf should not
cause any problem.

If you check the local registry on the client computer, can you find
classid "clsid:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111" and it is point itng
to a dll file on local disk?

Yes but what if I was installing a cab that what used to deploy a help
file or something else that does not change the registry ?

These files will be installed in the temp folder of your client computer.
