Answer 1

I am afraid that it is not possible to use ActiveX controls in Windows Store apps for Windows. Windows Store applications are isolated from the system and cannot run arbitrary code outside the application container. It would be too easy to insert malware in this way.

Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.current.installedLocation.getFileAsync(txtFile).then(

        function (success) {
