Are you trying to get the version that is used for Content Management
Server? If not, you might try the version of the web controls at:
http://www.asp.net/IEWebControls/Download.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1

    If I remember correctly, this is actually the full source version (which
includes a batch file for compilation). You'll need to copy the
webctrl_client directory under the wwwroot (or create a virtual directory to
the files) in order for the controls to run properly.

        Hope this helps,

Thanks Mark. Yes unfortunately I am trying to install CMS, and the IE =

Webcontrols are a pre-requisite. That's why I used the .MSI version =

rather than the version you suggested.
