Cannot Create ActiveX Component [resolved]

Hi, im new to these forums :wave: This one shouldn't be too difficult. In my VB.NET application i'm using COM objects from the Windows Media Encoder SDK. I've created a .msi file from the setup wizard and installed it on a different machine. When the app creates an instance of the encoder object I get this error message

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

These are the files in my install directory

wmenc.exe
WMEncAgt.exe
wmprevu.dll

I did a search on these boards and came to the conclusion that my dll's need to be registered in order to use them in this fashion. Well after using regsvr32 the only dll that would register was "wmprevu.dll" it appears that the others are non-activex based. Unfortunatley I am not sure if I am using the right approach to this. If anything I hope that I could get some light shed on what else needs to be done to get this working.
