Using ConnectToNewObject with chilkat activex

Question

I used Chilkat ActiveX in my PowerBuilder script

loo_Sb = create oleobject
li_rc =loo_Sb.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Sb
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

and it worked correctly.

When I did the deploy and try running my exe on my client pc the ole object, it didn't work and returned error Connecting to COM object failed.

What should I install or put in the my client pc to make the Chilkat ole object work correctly ?

An ActiveX DLL needs to be registered (regsvr32) on each computer where it is used. I would highly recommend reading this tutorial about ActiveX registration -- it's a short read.
