OCX's can be registered using regsvr32.exe (which is located in the windows\system directory (or system32 on WIN98+ or NT)
Syntax is (typed in a dos box)
regsvr32 myocx.ocx

If all goes well, you should get a message something like:
Dll registration successfull

Ok...
But is there anyway to do it with InstallShiled, could it be that you have worked with it and know how to do it?
I know there is an option there to register self-registering dll's. are all dll's and ocx's are self registered??

Haven't worked with InstallShield, but I would think that it should do it for you, I know Package and Deployment wizard does. Try consulting the help files of InstallShield, or visit their website. I'm sure this is a very common problem.
