You can use the registry class to determine if the ProgID key exists. Any ActiveX control that can be successful registered using RegSvr32 contains the function DllRegisterServer() that's contained in the control. There is a problem with this, however. Should the control require a run-time as opposed to design time license, the control may be registered but not usable at run-time. It's best to do a proper install.
