You can do something like
if(Request.Browser.ActiveXControl)
{
Response.Write("<script>var obj = server.createobject("customcontrol");
if (obj == null) alert('need control blahble')</script>");
}
roughly

I have a 3rd parth ActiveX control that needs to be displayed within a web
page. If the user doesn't have the ActiveX control installed on their
computer I would like to display instructions on installing the ActiveX
control (using IE v6 SP 2)..
I'm having a hard time determining client or server side if the ActiveX
control is installed.
If you have any links or suggestions I would appreciated them.
Thanks.
