dll's and ocx at run time

I would like to know how to register dll's at run time on another computer. Cuz i doing sort of a setup program to install my application and i need to know what to do when i copy my activex(.ocx) and my dll's.Where to copy it and how?
Do i register them and then window will put it where it belong or i put it where i think it belong and then register them.I need to know, thank you!!!

You have to both put the files there (with their associated .lib and .exp files) and register them.

The only way I know how to manually register dll's is to use the 'RegSvr32.exe' which can be run in the Windows\System directory.

You could use vb 'Shell' command to run this program.

Looks something like this:

Regsvr32 MyFile.dll



Simon.

this function will register your .ocx control:

Code:

---

Private Declare Function RegComCtl32 Lib myActiveX.OCX" _
    Alias "DllRegisterServer" () As Long

---

and this example shows you how and where it can be called:

Code:

---

Private Sub UserControl_Initialize()

  If RegComCtl32 = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
    BindDone = False
  Else
    MsgBox "Registration Unsuccessful"
  End If
 
End Sub

---

dunno if it's any help, but i tried. ;)
