SYMPTOMS
When packaging applications using Microsoft Windowless Controls, the Visual Basic Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) references the MSWLess.cab file linked to the site http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/MSWLess.cab, which does not exist.



CAUSE
The file MSWLess.dep incorrectly points to the above site. The MSWLess.dep file should not contain any entries for CABFileName, CABDefaultURL, or CABINFFile. Microsoft Lightweight Controls are not meant for distribution over the Web.



RESOLUTION
Do not use these controls for Web-based applications.

-or-

Remove lines containing CABFileName, CABDefaultURL, and CABINFFile from the MSWLess.dep file.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.

Additional query words: Lightweight controls MSWLess.cab
