The COM Course - Part 3

So you've created the world's sexiest ActiveX component and need to get it out to the masses. What do you do?

Well thankfully, distributing your COM components is exceptionally easy. Just as you would use the Package & Deployment Wizard to get your regular Visual Basic project on other computers you can do the same with your ActiveX projects!

Corr, simple eh?
