How do you register an ActiveX EXE on Vista?
MyApp.exe /RegServer
MyApp.exe /UnregServer

As far as I am aware, the specs state that running a VB6 ActiveX EXE results
in the silent launch of the executable, the registration of the COM details
into the registry (or unregistration) and then the termination of the
executable.

Why has this changed on Vista?

With Vista, launching the application results in the application continuing,
even if these command line switches are passed. This is throwing a monkey
wrench into my installer; all I want to do is register these programs during
the install, I don't actually want to run these programs during the install.

Thanks for your help!
