I created a ActiveX control using ATL, already package it with signature. I want to use it on the webpage, but at the install window the name is MyActiveX.cab with no link. the MyActiveX.cab name can be changed by modifying the html page's tag codebase attribute. but the name is still format like "XXX.cab" with no hyperlink.

I find a activex control from chinese website has its own name and link: and its object tags are nothing different:

<object ID="CMBPB_OCX" 
CODEBASE="http://szdl.cmbchina.com/download/PB/pb50.cab#version=5,3,1,1" 
classid="clsid:F2EB8999-766E-4BF6-AAAD-188D398C0D0B" width="0" height="0">
</object>

the pic was taken from MSDN Pages, it has link.

Really want to know how to Set the activex control name? I try to get help from How to Set ActiveX Control Name, but still get stuck.
