Internet Component Download
Downloading applications or components from the Internet is significantly
different from installing a standard Visual Basic application. In standard
applications, the user uses a setup program to install the software. On
the Web, users download the application after accessing a Web page from
which it is available. The browser, rather than a setup program, is
responsible for copying all the needed files to the user's computer. www.tartoos.com
End users use Internet component download to automatically download and
install Internet applications and ActiveX components from Web pages. You
can use the Package and Deployment Wizard to prepare your software for
Internet component download. The Package and Deployment Wizard creates a
cabinet (.cab) file that contains all of the information necessary to
download, install, and register your software.
The benefits of Internet component download include:

File compression for faster download.
-
A single file for your component and an .inf file that describes other
files required.
-
Dependency files, such as Msvbvm60.cab, will only be downloaded as
necessary — thus minimizing download time.
-
Easier updating when new versions of your component are created.
-
Automatic installation performed when the control is downloaded.
