The scenario is this:

We have a plug-in that needs to use the WinInet.dll. Even if Internet Explorer is not installed, we need to install the plug-in and see that everything runs fine. So, the
question is this:

How do you properly install or copy the WinInet.dll to the target machine?

Just copying the WinInet.dll into the Windows system directory does not work.

Thanks in advance.

MS doesnt want you doing that.

Here is some info that might help you.

Shipping just wininet
If you only need wininet functionality that matches IE 3.0, you can use
axdist.exe and/or wintdist.exe from the ActiveX SDK. See KB article
Q185375, "HOWTO: Create a Single EXE Install of Internet Explorer" for
additional details.
