Only Static images, no working ActiveX

I am trying to setup some test charts using ChartFX Internet.  For some

reason if I set GetHtmlTag to Image/PNG then my graph works, if I use

ActiveX then I download the control but it does it just sits at Downloading

Chart/Please Wait. I can interact with the control, but if I open the Data

Editor the values don't match what the query returns. It is like there is

no communication between the client and server. Has anyone else had this

happen? I don't remember this coming up when I used the trial version on an

old windows 2000 server.

Charts served off IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 server SP1

Problem is resolved.  If anyone is curious the fix from SoftwareFX was as

follows:

Thank you for contacting SoftwareFX Support.

Due to the "lock down" nature of Windows 2003, IIS is configured to not

serve any unknown file types. As a consequence, IIS6 returns 404 - File Not

Found for some of the file extensions we use with our component. You will

need to add .chw and .lic extensions to the list of mime types manually. If

not, IIS will not serve any files with those extensions.

Steps:

- Internet Information Service Manager

- Right click "Default Web Site" and select properties

- HTTP Headers page

- Click on the "MIME Types" button

- Click new

- Set the extension to .chw and the mime type to "application/octet-stream"

OK ...

Also add:

extension: .lic, type = text/plain

Hope this helps. Let me know what you find.
