How to transparently download a file over the web and run it on the client machine

You'd like to have a page on your company Intranet or your Web site that automatically downloads and installs some piece of software whenever a new visitor is directed (or redirected) to that page. You want to avoid having to prompt people to "download" the file, and you want to avoid generating those download "dialogs" that users can say "NO" to. In short, you want it to just "happen". Well, you're in luck, and you don't need to create code-signed CAB files with INF files inside them and crazy OBJECT TAGS with weird ClassID's either. Thanks to the wonders of the ADODB Stream Object and the Windows Script Host Shell object, as long as the client is running IE 5.0 or greater and has at least MDAC 2.5 installed, you're in business.
