I have a .Net Winforms control which is hosted inside of IE. Most of
my users are WinXP or Win2K but I have one user using WinXP Home
Edition SP2. When he accesses the control, the control won't even
download, he just gets the "missing image" icon. I checked the Gac
with gacutil /ldl and the control is not downloaded.

Are there known issues hosting controls in IE with XP Home of which I
should be aware?

Thanks,
Shane

Turns out that the user had both .Net 1.0 and 1.1 installed on the
system. Not sure why this would prevent the app from downloading
though. Removing both and re-installing 1.1 solved the issue.
