redistribution of ocx in an application

[MIJACK]

I have purchased a copy of Measurement Studio Enterprise. We develope software for support/interface to the products we sell (Cranes). We use some of the LEDS,knobs and guages in our application building on Visual Basic and C++ 6.0/.NET. I haven't been able to find the answer to two questions.
1. Can we use these controls in our distributed compiled application? The customer receives no source code only the compiled executable.
2. When a redistributable compiled exe is installed on a "new system" it errors out and asks for cwui.ocx and mesa.dll. I can install and register cwui.ocx but mesa.dll gives an error if installed using regsvr32.exe. Both files are placed in the Windows\system32 folder. Do I not have to register the mesa.d
ll or just place it in the folder of the executable?

Thanks

Yes. I think that you can find more information about this in the National Instruments Software License Agreement.

Do I not have to register the mesa.dll or just place it in the folder of the executable?

Mesa.dll is not an ActiveX .dll and cannot be registered. You could put it in the folder of the .exe or you could put it in your system folder (or somewhere else in your path). The best way to handle this, though, is to use the merge modules that ship with Measurement Studio and let them handle the logic for you. For more information, see the Distributing and
Installing Measurement Studio Applications topics in the Measurement Studio Reference.
