I am trying to package a 100K file for distribution, but the wait-time before you see the yes/no security modal takes a long time. So I created a CAB with only an .inf file (total 5K) that references the larger file from a website as Microsoft indicates is acceptable in their doc. The problem is that when the second file is being pulled down I get ANOTHER security modal! Am I doing this wrong or is that the expected behavior?

Isn't there a way to do this where once the user says "yes" to the first CAB, other files can be pulled down through the .inf file without any other prompts? I don't want to create some small .exe to pull these files down if it's possible to avoid that.
