    No, regsvr32 isn't much help here.

    An ActiveX EXE written in VB 6.0 will register itself the first time it is run. You can control the process using command line switches as well:

    myactivex.exe /regserver

    myactivex.exe /unregserver

    Of course that isn't much help to a C++ programmer. I assume you'd need to make an API call like installer utilities do. Then again maybe whatever template framework you're using embeds code similar to that which the VB compiler does for its ActiveX EXEs?
