OCX's get registered (regsvr32) and that does hold path info in the registry - you would need to know it's guid and use that to look up the path to it's current install location.

yes it's doable.

I find the solution for my probelm!

OLD = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{88F75483-0574-11D0-8085-0000C0BD354B}\\InprocServer32","NoName", false); -- NoName ist das worauf es ankommt!

I have seaching the hole time whith the rong parameter "vism.ocx" and I had to take "NoName"!

Thanks erveryboy
