Hi

 I have been working on a site which uses an activex to download a file from remote server to client pc. The activex is working well in IE 7.0. But its not working in IE 6.0. The OS is windows xp. The component is not getting downloaded.

Things to note is that if the web site is tested from the server system itself the object is working. But we cannot see it if we take "View Objects" from Internet Explorer options. If we try the web site from another pc(client machine) with IE 6.0 it doesnt even get downloaded.

Any tips about the issue?

Relevent portion is:

 For recommended techniques to make sure that ActiveX controls function without user interaction, visit the following MSDN Web site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537508.aspx

BTW, you will need to write this in VC++ / ATL to make it lightweight - see code project
