The big issue is I don't use an installer, nor a runtime.  Thus I have to do
"something" (unexplained) to get it installed on that machine.  What is that
"something" that is no big deal?

>If you don't use the redemption DLL, how do you bypass the security dialog?

I bypassing it by not installing the service pack that turns it on. (A2K)

OK, I give up.
What's the big issue with installing a COM component on a user's machine?

And a better question:
If you don't use the redemption DLL, how do you bypass the security dialog?
Or do you use the line a tech consulting firm recently handed us: "The email
warning dialog is for your protection.  It can't be bypassed"  Uh huh...

I have 97, 2000 (SP3) and XP (SP2) on my dev machine.  I use outlook XP
for email currently, but don't use automation.

I had considered giving this a look: http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

Which supposedly works around the security patch, but is a com component
which needs to be installed on systems.
