Click Once and ActiveX

Question

I have my "clickonce" windows form app working except for the installation of a com "ActiveX" element. The users machines have almost no permissions ie they cannot install or even navigate to a website outside one. I am a little stumped as to how include the activex control without registering or installing it. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

You can do a registration-free load of your COM DLL using a manifest file. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188708.aspx#S1 for more info.
