    Generally activex controls are installed/registered the same way you register any type of COM object.  ex. run regsvr32.exe on the control.  VS setup projects also support registering controls if you are building an MSI.   Embedding the control in an html object tag is how you would do it for web deployed activex controls. 

    For msagent info, i'd suggest trying this forum:
