# Engine Registration

The Python ActiveX Scripting Engine is not currently registered.

Due to a privacy concern discovered in the engine, the use of Python inside IE has been disabled.

Before any of the supplied demos will work, the engine must be successfully registered.

To install a version of the engine, that does work with IE, you can execute the Python program `win32com\axscript\client\pyscript_rexec.py` must be run. You can either do this manually, or follow the instructions below.

## Register the engine now!

If you have read about the privacy concern and still wish to register the engine, just follow the process outlined below:

1. Click on the link below
2. A dialog will be presented asking if the file should be opened or saved to disk. Select "Open it".
3. A Console program will briefly open, while the server is registered.
