I would think so. Actually I've never used the office version P&D tool. They
may be in a better position to answer office P&D questions here.
microsoft.public.office.developer.automation

I place the various OCX or DLL files in a distribution share then run this
CMD script to install and register them.

--------registration.cmd-----------
net use Z: /d
net use Z: \\naras0\someshare
attrib -h %systemroot%\system32\mscomct2.ocx
regsvr32 /u /s %systemroot%\system32\mscomct2.ocx
xcopy Z:\mscomct2.ocx %systemroot%\system32 /h /q /v /y
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\mscomct2.ocx
net use Z: /d
--------end file-----------
