Hi Baaali… Welcome to WhatTheTech. I'd like to be able to help you with your problem. You probably haven't received any replies to your enquiry because it is a bit confusing. I understand there might be a bit of a language barrier here. Maybe you can try to explain a little bit more about what you are attempting to do, and what the problem is? Together, maybe we can figure out what needs to be done to accomplish what you are trying to do. What it sound like to me is that you have built an ActiveX control and are hosting it on a web server. You want to be able to navigate to the website, and download/install the activeX control. On the localhost, it works. On a remote host, there is a problem. But, you are not receiving any errors. Am I pretty close to what you are attempting? The first thing I can think of, is that the "localhost" is probably in a more trusted security zone for Internet Explorer, than what a remote host would have. The IP address of the webserver on a remote machine would not be in a trusted zone. This would block the installation of ActiveX controls if they weren't designed properly. You probably need to add the IP address of the webserver to the trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer, and possibly lower the security settings for the trusted sites zone.
