using IE on WIn 10

Question

_{Wednesday, January 24, 2018 7:16 PM}

hello - our main app does not run under Edge so our users use IE on Win 10.

I am pushing down Active X files to Win 7 clients at  "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\ and then registering them and this works as expected. The program works as expected in IE.

Now comes along Win 10 with both IE and Edge.

However in Win 10 the  "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\ file is empty and can't be written to. I have started the service and set IE to run X and scripts etc. (plus its intranet traffic)

How do I support ActiveX on Window's 10 IE?

ManyThanks

Hi,

Please take following steps to see if it can work.

1. Open Command Prompt (as administrator)

2. Type following command to remove the system file attribute.

     **attrib "C:\windows\Downloaded Program Files" -S  **（press Enter）

3. Copy ActiveX files in the folder.

4. Type following command to set the system file attribute.
