If you use an installer to install your program you shouldn't have this problem.

Most likely you're having 64-bit issues here, not Windows 7 issues. The OCX needs to go into SysWOW64 instead of System32, and you have to run the 32-bit version of regsvr32 (also in SysWOW64) from an elevated command prompt.

However by now who knows what you have done in terms of registering the component into a virtualized registry location?
