Hi Guys,

Here i need to install an exe file from server to client. For that i want to approach Activex Controls.

Can any one tell me how to create an MFS activex control to install an EXE from server?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Srinivas.

Why do you want to approach ActiveX controls to do this? If you want to download the application from the server, the typical approach to do this is to create a ClickOnce deployment, and have this download and install the application onto the client machine. As an alternative, you may want to look into developing a Silverlight Out Of Browser application, which the user can choose to install onto their PC.

This example shows you how to do Out of Browser SL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/silverlight4trainingcourse_sl4businessmodule7_unit.aspx
