[xmlblaster] Installing the ActiveX Bridge

["Dupuy, Robert" <RDupuy at umpublishing.org>]

I am new to the list, so I hope I'm not asking a frequently asked
question.

But I need to install the ActiveX bridge. 

My assumption is, that it doesn't come included, but I must run the
build.
I run the build, it errors.

The website says I need Microsoft Visual C++ installed, to accesss
midl.exe

I have Microsoft Visual Studiio .NET C++ installed, I don't know where
midl.exe would be.
I also have an old copy of Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, it won't install on
Windows XP,
But I can see a copy of midl.exe on the disk, I copied it over.

Anyway, build errors every time.

I ran the build command from the website:

build  -DJRE_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\j2re1.5.0  activex

I substituted my own JRE_HOME.  I get this error:

dist-client-fast:

activex-deploy:
