Is there a way to point too the DLL and create an inst

huseyint's answer was on the money, however, I wanted to add a little to it. Here is some sample code I used for this very issue, perhaps it can speed you along...

// bind a variabe to WScript.Shell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

// define the path to the regasm.exe file
RegAsmPath = "c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe"

// register the dll
WshShell.run "cmd /c " & RegAsmPath & " c:\temp\cbsecurity.dll /codebase /nologo /s", 0, True

// bind a variable to the dll
Set cbUtil = CreateObject("CBSecurity.Utilities")

I had included an IsAlive method in the dll...

Public Function IsAlive() As Boolean
    Return True
End Function

...and could check that it registered correctly using the syntax:

//check if dll is available to your code
msgbox "cbUtil is alive: " & cbUtil.IsAlive

Hope this helps someone...
