Create component from VB app

I've made several custom components, but they mainly just involved a set of
files, some shortcuts, and a few registry settings. Now I might have to make
a component out of a VB app that includes some OCXs as well as the basic VB
runtime (VB 6). This is an in-house app, so I do have access to all of the
files and normal setup procedures (we install it on standard PCs by using
the setup generated by the VB setup wizard).

Are there any guidelines or easy ways to componentize this app? I am not a
VB person, but I think that some steps are necessary to "register" an OCX
other than just copying it to the system directory.

Doug,

regsvr32.exe in Windows XP.

From CD open component Resources and add "FBA DLL/COM Registration".

Thanks. I am more of a real-time C programmer and all of that "COM" stuff
makes my eyes glaze over, but I see now how to do it. Should be a breeze
:-).
