ActiveX Install for Impatient Execs?

C

Chris Green

Is there away to install all the ActiveX components for PWA before launching
the site in the browser.

My organization has a concern with executives becoming impatient with having
to load and install all the components. It would be great if one could run
a script or something for the execs so they wouldn't have to go through all
the IE pop ups.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Depending on your environment, generally you can include the Active X into
the user Profile.
Hope this helps

Chris,
If you use the exec Ray mentions, or include it in an SMS package, make sure
to look at the instructions, which include the order in which the controls
must be registered. A common error, which happend to us, was remotely
installing the controls without registering them. In that case the user will
still get the License Agreement on first log-in.

Thanks Ray and Steve for your responses...

I should have mentioned I am using Project Server 2007.

Different ActiveX components right?

Chris,

The following link might be of interest to you:

The ActiveX components for PS2007 of course are different to the controls in
PS2003. The above mentioned article walks you through the process of
manually registering the controls for both versions.

Hope this helps...
