How do I create a snazzy Web install to deploy the DLLs?
This process involves many steps. Essentially, you need to create a Web-based ActiveX® control (OCX). This OCX is packaged with your smart tag DLLs and is also downloadable via Internet Explorer’s CAB mechanism such that when it is downloaded your smart tag DLLs are installed as a byproduct. This OCX therefore serves the following roles: • It forces the install of a complete package containing the OCX and your smart tag DLLs. • It writes the registration keys for your DLLs. • It provides a visual indication when your install is complete. Code signing of .ocx files is covered in the the Internet Component Download topic under the Deployment/Distribution topic in the Smart Tag SDK.
