Generally we treat everything in the vb world as non self registering. Its safer that way.
Having said that, all MS controls/dlls/activeX we have run up against tend to register themselves successfully, except MS Agent.
Easiest way to find out if something needs registering is to try and register it manually.
regsvr32.exe something.dll

do you mean that it is better to put "NO" under the file group window under self-register in installshield 5.5?
We are a beta site for a new install product. It automatically tries to register dlls etc, if the control is all ready registered the product by-passes without issuing error warnings, you would think most install products would work the same way.
Mind you, haven't got it too work with MS Agent yet, even after a couple of updates:(.
Go ahead and try it on a spare PC, you cannot really damage anything.
