I am trying to convert an ActiveX install that places an extra button on my IE toolbar into a .EXE file. I downloaded the .cab file and was able to extract a .dll and a .osd file but don't know how to read the .osd file. Here's the .osd file:

CODE

<?XML version="1.0" ENCODING='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE SOFTPKG SYSTEM "http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/osd.dtd">
<?XML::namespace href="http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/msicd.dtd" as="MSICD"?>
<SOFTPKG NAME="IEPrint" VERSION="1,0,0,140">
        <TITLE> IEPrint </TITLE>
            <MSICD::NATIVECODE>
                <CODE NAME="IEPrint">
                    <IMPLEMENTATION>
                        <CODEBASE FILENAME="IEPrint.dll">
                        </CODEBASE>
                    </IMPLEMENTATION>
                </CODE>
            </MSICD::NATIVECODE>
</SOFTPKG>

the orgional installer is located at http://www.visiontech.ltd.uk/software/download/IEPrint.htm. (WARNING: This page will attempt to install the button)

Thanks, it works perfectly (and makes me feel like an id***).
