I made an ActiveX control packaged as cab and put it in my web server. The cab was digitally signed with a dummy signature. On the client machine, in "C:WindowsDownloaded Program Files" I could find the dll and osd files that were extracted from the cab. Now I bought a real certificate and signed the cab on the server with it. When I logged in as a client, after setting some secutity settings, I expected to see a prompt for downloading an ActiveX control with my name as publisher. That didn t happen. Then I went to "C:WindowsDownloaded Program Files", deleted the dll and osd file that were extracted from the cab, logged in as client again and then I did see what I was expecting to see: a prompt for downloading an ActiveX control with my name as publisher. My question is: why couldn t I see the signature in the first login? sure, the dll and osd files were already there, and the dll had the same version, but doesn t the fact that the cab was signed with a new signature and timestamped mean anything? and another question - if the dll inside the cab had a newer version number than the one in "C:WindowsDownloaded Program Files", would it then be overwritten?
