I am new to VS 2003 C#. I have created a simple
telephony project in C# using an activex control from
allem martin called aximtapi pro. www.allen-marting-
inc.com. I have the retail version of the software. My
problem is that when I build the deployment project using
vs 2003, the compile went fine. It even works fine on
machines that have the activex control installed on
them. However, when I run the setup on a clean mahine
(one with just Windows XP and the .net framework, it
doesn't work. I have the activex control included in the
dependencies etc, but it won't run. I know it is the
activex control because if I install the retail activex
software of the clean machine, the application runs
fine. I have read the activex must be "registered" on
the machines to which my application is installed. How
do I get the vs setup project to do this? I can't find
any literature on this. I have tried everything I know.
Thanks for your help!

Hi!
Did you set the "Register" property of the activeX to "COMSelfReg" in your
deployment project?
