OCX files usually physically reside in the System or System32 subdirectory. How can I find out under program control where the OCXs reside? (The platform is VFP 6.0 and WinNT/4.0 or Win95 or Win98.)

I need to know this because: if the program determines that an active x control is not registered, the program has to copy the ocx file from the server to the workstation, and the program has to know to which subdirectory to copy the ocx.

Let's assume the program knows where to find the ocx on the server.

Another question: on my WinNT/4.0 machine, I have ocxs in both the System and the System32 subdirectory. Why is this? It seems WinNT would want them in just one subdirectory.

Thanks, Chaim
