Back to Browsers

Are there any lightweight offline HTML browser controls out there for free?
I've incorporated the axWebBrowser control into an app, but it seems *huge*.
I've heard about the undocumented HTMLLite dll that VS .NET setup uses, but
don't know what the licensing restrictions are... and can't take a guess on
that. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Michael,

How is it huge? I mean, it's not like you have to distribute it (I
don't think you will find a system, or you will find very few that don't
have IE installed already).

The OP probably means the MSHTML PIA. It's quite lange: 7MB.
