Need an Active-X control that will be running from Internet Explorer. The control will need to download compressed files from a URL and uncompress them to a folder that the user can specify. The user should only need to specify the folder that it uncompresses to once, any future file will automatically uncompress itself in the folder the user picked. Any compression method can be used as long as it has quality compression (.zip, .rar etc). Also the control should be able to execute .exe files. It should do these actions after the user interacts with the website for example presses a link or button on the webpage. Example: The control downloads file game1.zip. It asks the user were it wants the files to be installed, user picks c:\games\ . the program uncompresses the file to c:\games\game1\. It should remember the location of the exe in the game1 folder so it can execute it later. To make it easier all exe files will have a constant name “[login to view URL]? so “c:\games\game1\[login to view URL]? in this example, but the zip files will have different names from the ones given. Later on the control downloads [login to view URL], this time it will automatically unzip to c:\games\game2\. So it should use the name of the compressed file to create the folder. The user will click a link or button which will send a message to the Active-X control to execute one of the games, the active-x control will also need to pass information on to the executable threw the program parameter. Just use a placeholder for the information so use “test?? or any random string. Need full source code and should be done in c/c++ ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
