ActiveX CAB Problems

[Ram]

Hey,
I have an activeX packed in a CAB file, and linked from a html file
using the OBJECT tag.
On some computers this works greate, but on others the page gets stuck
for a couple of moments and the install failes, and whne I look at the
log file (%windir%\setupapi.log)
I see the following:
"Error 0x800b003 The form specified for the subject is not supported or
known by the specified trust provider"
What is the cuase of this problem and how can I fix it/change my trust
provider?

First of all you need to be more careful about your observations.
The code you cite only has 7 hex digits; so that is going to greatly
reduce the likelihood of finding a solution if you search using just that.
I.e., most error codes are representations of a signed 32 bit value;
so we expect 8 hex digits normally.

In any case let's try a search using the rest of the text from the error
message you cited. Hmm... In fact it looks as if you have just left
out one of the zeroes between the B and the 3. I.e. the real code
you saw was probably 0x800B0003.

Now the next problem we have is that you haven't disclosed your OS.
There are some articles specific for XP, some for Windows 2000
and even some meant to address Win9X too.

In fact, it looks as if some of the articles I was thinking about
have been culled from the KB. FWIW here is the most general one
remaining. It looks as if it was written mostly for NT5x but it doesn't
specify that or even which version of Windows Update it is referring to
(not WUv4 AFAICS).

(MSKB search for
0x800B0003
- Products: All Products
)


Hmm... Ok. Your post's headers seem to be including your
User-Agent; so if you were posting from the problem machine
that shows XP would be involved and the cited article would
be quite appropriate to use.


Good luck
