Strange I posted this ages ago - the giveaways for AX 'DLLs' are:-

DllCanUnloadNow 
DllGetClassObject 
DllRegisterServer 
DllUnregisterServer

Just because a DLL is in your registry does not mean that it is still
on disk - and just because it is on disk does not mean that it is
registered.

A poke around in SETUP1 - the VB bit of the setup wizard should
provide some interesting stuff :-

Declare Function GetClsidFromActXFile _
             Lib "VB5STKIT.DLL" _
             (ByVal pszFilename As String, _
              ByVal pszProgID As String, _
              ByVal pszClsid As String) As Long

This looks a bit of a contender for the task.
