Active-X control fails to load in web page

I followed the instructions given in this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167158 for packing my ActiveX control. It works fine in my development machine. When it is accessed in some other machine it gives the following error "Windows Has blocked this software because it cant verify the publisher". I have used a test certificate to sign my control and the testing machine is Windows 7 with IE 9.

Problem Fixed:

I have to sign my .ocx file other than my cab file and build the control with MFC dlls statically linked. That helped me to fix the issue.

You have some options:

  1. Sign the CAB
  2. Add your site to trusted site or change your browser settings

Here some links about signing the CAB:
