>>Try removing the /s and check the results of the call to RegSvr32. You also might want to put a delay of some kind between the call to RegSvr32 and the attempt to instantiate the object - say an Inkey(5) or a Sleep(5000).

Sorry, forgot to add

Declare Sleep In Win32API Integer

Seriously though, if the call to RegSvr32 is successful, what would stop the object from instantiating. I'm betting the call to RegSvr32 fails because the current User does not have adequate privileges to update the Registry.
