Is it a redistributable version? Or are you just yanking the file from your system?

1. It should be moved to the system32 folder
2. Use regsvr32 to register the ocx (drag the ocx in the regsvr32 application) or
type regsvr32 mswinsock.ocx in to the run window in the start menu.
3. Once it is registered go to Visual Basic (whatever, language you are using and add the component/reference to your project).
