Solution 1

OCX files should be registered (the COMID written into the registry)...
Normally it would be something like regsvr32 "your.ocx", but how actually you can utilize it is depends on how do you create your installer...

Does the ocx listed under included files?

i have tried both ways.. with ocx and without ocx in installer

OCX MUST be included. It should sit under the system folder...
