Our company uses a very old and outdated/expired active X control to grab documents from a server. The activeX control runs inside Internet Explorer. We 'used' to be able to roll back the computer clock to fool IE into installing the "expired" control, but that no longer works.
I've tried forcing IE 11 to install the control, via group policy and I've ENABLED all activeX controls in IE 11 to allow it to run (huge security risk), but it always comes back with IE has blocked this control from running, even after entering administrator credentials to allow it.
I've tried manually registering the controls via: regsvr32. They DO show up in IE Add-ons(Enabled) but again, when you actually try to use them, IE blocks it.
I've tried adding the SITE the active X control runs off: To 'Trusted Sites". That does not work either.
Environment: Windows 7 Pro 64bit, IE 11 - 11.0.9600, 2012 R2 Domain.
The application we interface with is legacy at this point, and the company that originally made it for us long gone, so we cant get any support from them to 'update' the activeX control.
What options do we have? Is there some way to force IE and Windows to run this control? I'm literally running out of computers that are able to download the documents, and most of my 80+ end users 'need' to be able to use it to do their work.
Thanks in advance. I'm getting a little desperate.
