	Yes, you only need the OCX file. Do not forget to register it on the installation computer - meaning COM registration with regsvr32 (or if your installer supports it). I did so for Windows 2000 / XP installation and it worked but I have no idea about older platforms like Windows 9*.

	Blockwood, I also use INNO setup, and the line you posted looks good. I don't believe the 'restartreplace' flag is necessary for this control, but it doesn't hurt to leave it in. You would also suggest you list this as a shared file since other software may also use the CommandBars.ocx file. Even though you set 'uninsneveruninstall' for your setup program, someone else may have their setup program set to uninstall it if nobody else is using it. Marking it as a shared file will increase the "usage" count for that control and hopefully prevent someone else's uninstall program from removing the control while your application still uses it.
