Thank you for the article. As I mentioned that it is not simply reading the registry that concerns me. But if my code reads the wrong key or registry and determines that the ActiveX is not registered, the customer will get a false error message. This, IMHO, could create more support issues than the ugly error message the customer gets when the ActiveX is not registered.
