If your component is a DLL, then you only have to worry about installing it using ...

regsvr32 mycomponent.dll

Do you have a .exe version of the same component or is this another component ?

I think what will work is if you have a truely remote (DCOM) component - register it on the server using ...

mycomponent.exe /regserver

Then on your workstation (and I'm talking through my hat now) register the proxy/stub dll using regsvr32 then run a program from start->run called DCOMCNFG.

This utility will allow you to verify (and specify) that the com component is hosted off a remote server (DCOM)...

But like I said - if your just trying to register a DLL on your workstation - regsvr32 should work everytime ... are you getting a messagebox error when you register ? What is it ?
