one potential problem is, we build both a 32-bit and a 64-bit DLL; if
you run the 32-bit Internet Explorer it can only use the 32-bit DLL and
a 64-bit IE needs the 64-bit DLL.

you'll probably also need to have the corresponding (32-bit or 64-bit)
MSVCRT installed.

but other than that i don't actually have any idea how ActiveX works...
