Runtime registration of dll not allowed without the client interaction. Without PC owner's permission it can't be done. So I think the person has to download the setup and install in his machine.

As Albin has mentioned, probably the best thing to do here is create a small setup project that the user has to download from your site. The setup program will contain your packaged dlls

Once downloaded, they will run the setup program which will copy the DLLs to the target location (you could show a 'install location' dialog, or just copy to %System32% etc) and register them.

This is probably the best solution to provide

* Cross browser functionality. This will work in all browsers, since all they have to do is download a file. If you started getting into scripting or using CAB files, you'll run into incompatibility issues

* Security issues. This solution will work on all versions of Windows. On later versions (i.e. > windows vista) you may see the UAC prompt when running the installer, but it will still install OK after user confirmation.
