Hi:

I am trying to download & create an object on a html file from a cab file.

I tested it changing the CODEBASE parameter so as to get the cab file from my local hard disk and it works ok.
But when i change the CODEBASE so as to get it from a http://....
it can not download&create the object.

Here is the html page.Thanks

codebase="http://fhunth.tripod.com/msinet.cab" align="baseline" border="0">

Check your Browser security settings. If you are using IE then changing the codebase from local to "http:// etc" may change it to Internet zone and the permissions for downloading unsigned Active X cabs may be blocked.

Otherwise your code looks OK.
