The best solution is to use a Merge Module from the developer of the
components. That way, all the components have the same ComponentID to
Windows Installer, and they'll be ref-counted.
If that doesn't work, in your setup project you can do a Registry Search
for the path to the HKCR registration information. For your ActiveX
components, edit the Condition property so that it is something like
REGISTRYSEARCH1="" (it will only install if the search didn't find
anything, i.e. it isn't already installed).
