It's up to the OS to support Side by Side and has little to do with VB. I *had* a sample that shows how to manage this, supplied by an MS employee. Problem is, I can't find that sample!!! It originally appeared in the Bugs group. 


Don't know if that's what it is, but here's more infos:

Mark : Side-by-side (SxS) component sharing was introduced in W2K,
and, hence, is not available on Windows versions other than W2K, XP,
and W2003.

Thanks for all of the replies. Since I'm pretty sure the OCX will never be upgraded (it has existed for long enough to have been rigorously tested by many users, it does everything I need very well, it appears to have 0 bugs) for now I will register it every time the program is run. I'm working through the other approaches to see if I can trap an error in the case of an unregistered condition, since this seems preferable to writing the same value to the registry over and over.

Thanks to everyone their suggestions,
Mike
