I have recently added a new function to an app that uses the progress bar control. I know that to use an ocx in an app, the ocx must be registered on the user's machine. This has been no problem before, because the setup wizard does this when it creates the setup program. This app is already installed on a plethora of machines however, and reinstalling would be a VERY time consuming ordeal. In adition to the app that was originally installed, there is another program that is added to the user's startup group which checks the modified date on their app's .exe, and compares it to the modified date of the .exe on the server, if the one on the server is newer, it copies the file to the user's machine. This takes care of any updates I've made to the program. This doesn't cover registering ocxs, however. My question is: is there a way to register an ocx from code? Possibly a routine that I could execute from the main program for one work day that would register the control on everybody's machine that I could remove the next day?
