Installing activex over intranet

[grovemedia]

I built an activex control that is implemented into our intranet. When you open the control ovet the intranet it installs the control everytime. How do you make it so it installs the first time and that is it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Typically, in an intranet environment you deploy your activeX Control using CAB files !

I am using a CAB file. I kind of figured it out. My versioning was kind of off. Why does the asp page need 4 spots for the version. I had the version of the cab set at 1.1.1. I then put the version to 1.1.0.1. Now it won't install over and over again. I was wondering why this helped and why is there four spots for the version and not three. Does that make sense. Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
