: This is the case... The users in question are seeing absolutely no prompts
: to install the Control when the visit the page.  I tried it myself and I
: see
: the prompt at the top of the page to install the control, even in XP SP2.
: So, I'm stumped as to why these users claim to not see anything.

I would check to see what their IE security settings are. Perhaps they are
