title: How to embed ActiveX control in PowerPoint
body: <p>I have an ActiveX control written in C#. I am able to register it on my machine and put in PowerPoint 2007 slides via the Developer ribbon. Works great!</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't want my users to have to install the control on their machines. I want to embed it directly into the PowerPoint file.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen this done with Flash content. The PPTX file gets a "bin" directory and the actual Flash COM DLL is placed in it.</p>
  
  <p>However, my PPTX files only have the activex directory and therefore rely on the control being globally registered.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get PowerPoint to completely embed this control?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Clarification</strong> I have since found that the files in the "bin" directly were in fact SWF files that an already-registered Flash ActiveX control merely consumed. Darn.</p>
