Hi Group,

Ours is a webApplication which uses VC Redistributable
Asssembly's(Dependent on MFC80.dll). For this sake we need to package 2
of the msm files along with our cab file and install them (msm files)
on the Client machine.

This installation we are planning to have it thru inf file. We have
converted the msm files to msi files seperately. We are planning to use
msiexec to install our msi files.

Below is the Inf file which we are currently using.

;INF file for FileFuncs.ocx
;DestDir can be 10 for Windows directory, 11 for Windows\System(32)
directory, or left blank for the Occache directory.

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0

The msi file is not getting installed on the client machine at all. Our
activeX Control is not getting registered because of the msi file not
getting installed.

To Deploy mfc80.dll and its dependent side-by-side assemblies is there
any other way.
Why is this installation failing?

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
