>Ok I lied, more questions... On my computer comdlg32.ocx is stored in the system32 directory. I use installshield express. On my install, i assume still copy that to the system directory. No Problem. As far as registry entries go, should I just copy the entire entry in my registry for this ocx? Which is under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ->CLSID ->{F904C385-F6F2-101A-A3C9-08002B2F49FB}. Copy it to the same exact name? Thanks!

You can't do it that way. Common Dialogs has two CLSIDs one for design and one for run-time. Unfortunately, not being a InstallShield Express user, I can't comment on what it requires to be able to install and ActiveX control on the target machine. I would think, however, that it would have some mechanism that would handle this, but this is purely a WAG on my part.

Maybe someone else can jump in on this.
