The OCX's don't invoke any third party software. It's Windows Installer 
which monitors certain registry keys and checks if they have been modified 
or deleted and attempts to "repair" the installation. It's generally best to 
insert the CD and let it finish. Sometimes this is caused by a buggy 
installation script, so you need to ask the software vendor who's installer 
being invoked to fix their installation script.
