Maybe it helps placing it in a directory that is accessible by the system. Like:
C:\windows\ or C:\winnt\ or C:\Winnt\System32 etc.

Hi,

In fact, you're using activeX exe which are Com or Dcom depending on the location of the machine where your activeX is located.

To acces an ActiveX Dll from any project you have to register it using RegSvr32.

For ActiveX exe the registration is made by the exe itself. At the command line call your activeX with the flag /regserver to register it and the /unregserver one to unregister it.

A class id (CLID Key in registry) will be created and you'll be able to access your activex.
