Where to put / register a 3rd-party activeX component for use in Excel2010

[Heinz-Guenter Lamy]

Hello,

I had built an Excel addin for XL 2003 with a date-time picker on a userform. This control was placed in the windows/systems folder. Now, with Windows 7, I don't find a way to make the old userform work, because the activeX is not recognised. Any clue ?
Thank you in advance.

Regards,

I usually ship/install/register 3rd party controls in a 'Common' folder
under my app's parent folder (if shared by other apps), OR in my app's
folder (if not shared) along with its other files.

Example:

C:\MyFolder
C:\MyFolder\Common\3rdparty.ocx
C:\MyFolder\MyApp

OR
C:\MyFolder
C:\MyFolder\MyApp\3rdparty.ocx
