IE
Some of our users have started using a new web based banking system (online banking escentially) which requires Crystal Reports Viewer in order to view/print reports. At the moment, the only way to install this is to run IE as administrator, then get the user to log onto the online banking system, go through the motions of printing a reporta and install the ActiveX plugin when prompted. However, I've got alot of users to do this for. Is there any way I can download an install file so I can deploy it out to the users instead? I've already checked the ActiveX property in IE, but the "link" points to a .cab file on the online banking system, which I don't have a username or password for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you considered exporting the Crystal reports as Acrobat/pdf?

No, I do want to install the Crystal Reports Viewer, I just don't want to have to go around to every PC and run IE as administrator just to prompt the download. So ideally I'd like the install file instead. I did manage to download the cab fril from the banking system's website and extracted the files - but the only executible is instcow.exe which doesn't seem to do much - it certainly doesn't bring up a dialogue box !!
