Tina, If the VFP EXE was on the local machine, not in the Program Files folder structure, The OCX files would work being registered there. Using INNO to create the install scripts allows you to force the installer to run as 32-bit. This insures the Program Files maps to Program Files (x86) and the System32 maps to SysWOW64. I haven't researched WIX Installer to see if there is a way to force 32-bit mode.
