	The .cab file is integrated as described in the [~~http://wiki.videolan.org/ActiveX~~#Samples samples above], using the <OBJECT> element in the case of HTML, for example. When the ActiveX Control is called for the first time, i.e. prior to VLC installation through any means, the setup program should start up. Unfortunately, users have to click through a few dialogs, "allow blocked contents" or deal with other inconveniences, depending on your configuration and the user's security settings of Internet Explorer. The user must have proper rights to install VLC on the user's computer; identical to a regular installation of VLC as required by the VLC setup program.
