Adding version to codebase for CAB file that contains multiple DLLs

Question

I have some ActiveX controls provided by a company we partner with and we have a CAB file with two DLLs in it and an INF file.

In the past, I have added a "#VERSION=X,X,X,X" after the CAB file URL in the codebase attribute of the object tag.  However, the two DLLs have different version numbers.  There is an object tag for one control and another object tag for the other control.  Do I need to specify different versions for each codebase attribute even though they are mapped to the same CAB file URL?  I need to make sure that if we get one updated DLL and the other is unchanged, our end users are asked to install the updated DLL.

I asked the person at the company that provided the CAB file and he said that there was no need to version it.  I wanted to make sure this was correct before we deploy the changes to production.

I've tried to find information about how to do this but everything I've found had to do with a CAB file with a single DLL so that didn't help much.

Thanks

I agree with the CAB file provider. I think you just have to specify version when you import the very first dll.
