Installshield deployment (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

I am attempting to deploy an OI 4.1.3 application using Installshield 4.0 Express (which uses Windows Installer). The application installs succesfully, but upon launching it Windows Installer launches again. I have determined that it is something to do with OIPI32 as I can suppress Windows Installer by setting the Auto start and stop of OIPI to No in OINSIGHT.INI. If I cancel Windows Installer I can run the application including the OIPI reports without a problem. Also, if I unsinstall the application and simply copy the folder to the destination machine, everything works fine, including OIPI.
Installhield indicates that Windows Installer is looking for a missing component. Does anyone have an idea of what this may be?

Might it be something to do with registering the OCXs for OIPI?

The 2 documented ocx's that OIPI uses are SSUTIL.OCX and VSVIEW3-.OCX (per the help file) and I tried setting Installshield to extract the COM information and register at installation, but Installshield tells me that it is unable to extract COM information from the files upon performing the build. If this were the problem it seems odd that simply copying the files over to another machine works as I am not performing any ocx or dll registration in this scenario.
I will get back onto Installshield. Thanks for your input.
