Hi Mark,

I was looking back over this thread. The initial question was whether an
updated application.config file would be downloaded and we determined that
it would not. To make this simpler for other newsgroup readers to follow,
can you start one, or more, new threads?

You wrote that you are trying to download an EXE created with .NET. At
another point you wrote that you're trying to use a .NET Window Control
inside a web page via an object tag in the page's HTML. I'm not sure which
of these questions we are currently working on. It would be helpful if you
posted each question as a new thread as I think we've had some confusion
over what question we are actually trying to answer.

As I understand it now, your two issues are:

1)
I want to deploy a .NET EXE via the web as described by
http://www.fawcette.com/vsm/2002_09/magazine/columns/desktopdeveloper/.
However, I'm running into some problems.
  - The application.config file does not get updated on the client machines
if I place a new version on my server.
  - It's not clear how to get dependant assemblies to download.

2)
I want to use a .NET Windows Forms custom control in a web page via an
object tag. I have it working if the control assembly and all dependant
assemblies are in a single CAB file. However, I have not been able to get
it to work when dependant assemblies are in separate CAB file(s).

Thank you, Mike Moore
