Where install dll and ocx files?

[Holger]

I have built some installation routine for a VB program with some dll and ocx files. Where must ocx and dlls be installed on the destination system? If I put them into the winsys directory, other dlls/ocxs are overwritten. If I put them into the program's directory, does it work always? Do I always have to register them? What if they are deinstalled?

Any help is appreciated.

hi holger
all dll and ocx files need to be first registered using the regsvr32.exe on any machine before they can be used
moreover u can have two ocx or dll files with the same name but placed at different locations. since each one of these
files has a different GUID which helps in differentiating them from the other files
