1. Downloading and running a setup.exe file (similar to ours) that installs Professional/Standard/Viewer Activex in the "client's" system.

2. Making a CAB file. If you want more information about this see MSDN article "Deploying ActiveX Controls on the Web with the Internet Component Download".
(NOTE: It is better not to use UNICODE versions because it can only work only with Windows2000 and XP.)

Instructions for making a CAB

Make a temporary Folder and place there the:

NOTE : This example is for vdpro. Don't forget to change vdpro with vdstd or vdview if you are using Standard or Viewer
Also change the clsid of the product . These are the three keys for clsid:

Run the MakeCab.bat. This should produce the vdrawi4.cab file.

Upload this cab file in your server's location : http://www.mysite.com/draw
See the HTML code:
<OBJECT id="vdpro" height="445" width="692" classid="clsid:50EFAD92-4089-4653-AFA2-8F3CAFCBCE3A" codebase="http://www.mysite.com/draw/vdrawi4.cab#version=4,2,6,1031" VIEWASTEXT>

Run the lpk_tool.exe application, choose in the left column the "VectorDRaw Professional 4.x", Press Add , (in the right column should be only that, and then press "Save & exit" and give the name (in the temporary directory) "vdprolpk.lpk". This should produce the vdprolpk.lpk file.
See the code in the HTML :
<OBJECT classid="clsid:5220cb21-c88d-11cf-b347-00aa00a28331" VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="vdprolpk.lpk">
</OBJECT>
!!!!!The vdprolpk.lpk file must be in the same folder in your server as the htm files.

Upload in the http://www.mysite.com/draw directory of your webserver the test.htm, vdprolpk.lpk, vdrawi4.cab files and the a sample drawing saved as test.vdi.

You also need to update the licval value for your server. Please contact our sales department about that.
Open the page http://www.mysite.com/draw/test.htm in your IE.

.DWG/.DXF file support.

In order to support the .DWG/.DXF files within your web page you have two options:
1. VectorDraw File Converter Application must be installed in your client's machine. It is free and you can download it from our site.
2. Obtain the necessary rights for using OpenDesign™ Library from OpenDesign™ ().

In this case the vdxfiles4.dll must be distributed and OLE registered in your client's machine.
Also the DD_Root.dll must be placed in the same folder with the vdpro.ocx .This dll it is available from OpenDesign's  toolkit.

Also you have to modify the .ddf and .inf files as followed:
 

File Name   Add this text with Notepad
vdrawnet.ddf   .OPTION EXPLICIT
.Set Cabinet=on
.Set Compress=on
.Set MaxDiskSize=CDROM
.Set ReservePerCabinetSize=6144
