Problem installing COM component

[ngrTerry]

I have an app which runs fine on my laptop.
It uses the COM reference Microsoft CDO 1.2.1 library which maps to
CDO.DLL

THE PROBLEM arises when I try to install on another PC which
incidentally also has the same Visual Studio 2005 (seperate licence)
installed

When I build a setup application, this creates a dependency for
interop.mapi.dll.
The other PC also has Visual Studio 2005 installed, but no references
are available for the CDO.DLL file, nor do they exist on the PC

I have tried to download the libraries for this from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171440/en-us
but this says that it cannot be installed whilst outlook is installed
on the PC.
I have never downloaded the component myself, it was just there and I
can only assume it was installed with a MS application because that is
all I have on the PC.

Can anyone advise how to ship and install with a com component please.

Thanks in advance
Terry

If you are still out there, what difference does this make as long as you
have all the Dll(s) Com or .Net in the same directory? I would think that
even if you have to register these Com components, they are in a different
directory than existing ones that have been registered.
