>>Hi Francois,

>>I have been using InstallShield Express 2 and it will register your dll's and OCX's for you. I also recommend a product called PE Analyzer (Portable Executable Analyzer). This product has been a life saver for me because you can open each DLL/OCX that is distributed for your application and give a hierarchy of any other DLL dependencies. This helps you select the proper order these files are installed. You can also include a file call swdepend.ini with the Install and this file makes sure the DLL's/OCX's are registered in the proper order.

I forgot to mention that with PE Analyzer you can check the Export functions of the DLL/OCX. If you use the swdepend.ini file with InstallShield to specify the order your DLL/OCX's get registered, make sure these files contain the DllRegisterServer export function or InstallShield will generate an error.
