I often found that raw win95/98 does NOT install certain files needed for registering ActiveX components.

One file that comes to mind is OC30.DLL
There are a few other lik MFC42.dll

I usually run a batch file first that copies these files to the WIN/sys directory and then the install proceeds and the OCX's are registered.

Check that the following files are on the client's computer as well.

OC30.DLL
OLE2.DLL
MSVCRT20.DLL
MFCANS32.DLL
COMPOBJ.DLL
STORAGE.DLL
OLE2DISP.DLL
OLE2NLS.DLL
TYPELIB.DLL

Also you may need to register some of the files:
REGSVR32 c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OC30.DLL

etc.
