Hi everybody.

I'm looking for a way to deploy an Internet Explorer plugin for SVG-rendering without manually installing it on every client machine.

Is there a way to use some ActiveX voodoo stuff to automatically install a plugin?

I have no reliable information about the IE versions that are used on the client side so I assume the worst: IE6.

To make things even harder, the users probably don't have administrator privileges on the client machines.

The whole thing happens in an enclosed local network, so security considerations are entirely secondary.

It also does not really matter which actual plugin it will be, anything that can render SVG and run Javascript on it will do just fine.

I can't think of anything to make this work so I'm desperate for help here...
