ActiveX Controls still do require permission from the user before finishing

their auto-install.


If the "irritating alert dialog" actually says something like "certificates

expired" or "Authenticode" or such, then update that older version of

IE300/Win32 to be able to use new ActiveX Controls again.


If the "irritating alert dialog" actually says something like "can't

register the OCX" then don't use your older ActiveX Controls in the same

browser session where you're trying to remove them... restart the browser

and then install components.


Smart Shockwave makes it easier to specify engines, get them to the user,

and install them, but we're still dealing with the demands of various

different browser brands, in different versions, and on different

platforms... there are still some constraints there, true.
