Allow me to have the honor to open the first topic in this forum :) 
Using this little tutorial you can deploy your application (or run it from an USB stick) without the need to register the Codejock controls. 
You can even use different versions next to eachother (side by side). 

Sounds cool huh? So here's what you need to do: 
Unzip the attached file to any place. 
Adjust the first 3 lines of the .bat file to suit your needs 

set ANSIUnicode=.Unicode 
set Version=v15.0.1 
set cjdir=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX %Version%\Bin\ 

If you don't want unicode controls, then simply replace the first line with 

set ANSIUnicode=

The second line is the version of the controls you are using 
The third line is the folder where you have the Codejock controls installed. If you are running on 32 bit, then replace %ProgramFiles(x86)% with %ProgramFiles% 

Run the bat and notice that a folder is created called 'Manifest' 
Inside that folder you'll find most of Codejocks controls with simplified names 
Open the .manifest file in notepad and run the manifest helper. Select all the files you want to use and click "open"
This will save all necessary information on your clipboard.
Replace the 

 with the information on your clipboard and save the manifest file.
Place the manifest next to your application and change its name to match your executable filename
eg:
myApp.exe.manifest
Thats it! you can run it from any computer (XP and up) without the need to register the controls. 
You don't need to copy all of the controls. For instance, when you just use the commandbars in your app, you will only have to copy Commanbars.ocx.

Another little extra is that you might want to change the elevation property for when being used on Vista computers. 
When your application needs administrator privileges, change 
level="asInvoker" 
to 
level="requireAdministrator"
