I want to deploy a Visual studio.net windows application. This
application uses MSCOMM32.OCX control. This application works fine on
a development machine. However, if I deploy it on a non-developer
machine, the application fails to load.

It throws an exception, class is not licensed for use.

In the source code, a new instance of the control is created, so,
when, at runtime, it looks for a design-time license for the control.

How do I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

can you use regsvr32? and register the component on the user's machine

Yes, I tried that. However, if we create a MSCOMM control dynamically,
using 'new', then, it requires a run-time license on the end-user
machine.
