Hello,
I have been working in this area for the last several days.
It is actually greatly improving. I think the bulk of the remaining work is in the wintrust area to correctly validate the downloaded cabinet files. Then the prompting of the user to install these files.
With some of my pending patches if I turn off the security settings for these things then ActiveX controls start to download and install.
One things that would help are examples of ActiveX controls to try to run. I have been targeting shockwave and flash but there must be others.

Hello,
It is my understanding that IE7 installed in Wine (for exemple, by following instructions at http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/applications/ie-7-on-linux-with-win...) has no support for ActiveX.
Does anyone know what are the missing parts (in Wine or by adding more native DLLs) to make it work ? Which native DLL is responsible for all the ActiveX stuff ?
If we've got a clear understanding of what is missing and if a Wine dev is interested, I can sponsor it through a bounty.
