I don't know about using it programmatically. However, I found that the

only way to use regserver32 to install an ocx in windows 7 is to open a

dos window as an administrator and run it from there.

And get rid of the uac! We are big boys and know how to do things. We

don't need Microsoft to "protect" us with the uac, at least not me !! A

good antivirus software like Kaspersky plus a password in your router is

all you need
