Programs Associated Files

At my work, we have two computers dedicated for the use of two programs on both. Unfortunately on of them (“computer A”) crashed. As you could assume, we would only use one computer if it were possible, however it is not. I reformatted the hard drive and installed a fresh copy of windows (completely necessary). One of the two programs we fortunately had on CD and were able to reinstall on “Computer A,” but we did not have a copy of the other program. So I continued to copy all of the files from “Computer B” and put them in the appropriate directories on “Computer A.” When I attempted to run the program it said that .dll and .ocx files were missing, so I copied them from “Computer B” and used the “regserver” function. Now when I run the program it no longer prompts me to tell me a missing file, it just gives me “ActiveX component cannot create object.” This is not to be confused with the similar 429 error brought on by VB scripted programs. I am at a loss of how I could get this to work, and can’t help but thinking that there are still essential files missing. My question is this; is there a program that can be used to find all of the files (.dll and .ocx alike) required to use the executable (.exe)?
