When using an activeX in a webpage we would probably run into this syntax:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:dcf0768D-ba7a-101a-b57a-0000c0c3ed5f"
ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH=270 HEIGHT=26 ID="T1"><PARAM NAME="Interval" VALUE=1000>
<PARAM NAME="Enabled" VALUE=1></OBJECT>
Windows will first check for the existence of the class in “clsid” – if this class is not available, it will open up the CabInstaller.cab file (which is like rar or zip archives), execute directives written in a special .INF file and then try to load the class again.
The cab file can do many things but the simplest configuration would probably look like this:
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0
[Setup Hooks]
hook1=hook1
[hook1]
run=%EXTRACT_DIR%\test.exe /S
Edit an inf file and copy this content with the appropriate changes.
To create a cab file use the utility: cabarc.exe
cabarc.exe n CabInstaller.cab test.exe CabInstaller.inf
To sign on this cab file use:
signtool signwizard
