Why can I install ActiveX controls(and IntraLaunch) as a normal User?
ActiveX controls are treated just like any other application, and because ActiveX controls are installed on a per-machine basis, they cannot be installed by normal Users. Instead, trusted ActiveX controls such as IntraLaunch should be published in the Active Directory service from which they can be deployed on-demand using Microsoft Installer technology.
