I'm using msscript.ocx in my application which is an activex scripting host for windows.
Although I want to be able to use the same for XP embedded(XPe) which's highly customizable.
1.I want to know whether on XPe, msscript.ocx can be optionally installed or not?
2.Where does it get installed from, IE?
3.Or is it a windows core component which gets installed during the XPe setup?(I know one can unregister it, but can it be an optional installation)
Answering any or all of these questions will be of great help to me.
Thanks in advance.
Sam.
I think it is not shipped with Windows XP(not a 100% sure)...
But the best choice is to ship it with your installer(even if it was shipped, it can be removed). About the installing - you can put it where you want (in the program folder in Program Files is ok), the important thing is to register it.
The best choice for making installers - Wix
EDIT: reference
The Script control ships with Visual Basic 6.0; however, Visual Basic 6.0 setup does not install the Script Control for you. The control is located in the CD directory Common\Tools\VB\Script. To install the script control, try the following steps:
I think this answers your question....
