Folder moved/How to change component path?

Question

Hi guys. First post and requiring some help. I've developed a program in vb.net that uses a component (.ocx file) which I added through the the COM components window. I have to burn the program to a cd, then be able to run it off cd and also drag it to desktop and run it from there. When I try this the program comes up with an error as the component is no longer in the program as the path was set to whatever it was when being created. I was hoping someone here would be able to advise me as to how i can make the component work from many different locations. It is however always in the same folder if that helps. Any advice?
