Hi Colin,
I haven't done exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but I've researched it a bit since we'll have to solve the same problem.
Basically, copying the file is not enough; the library needs to be registered with Windows. After some research, it appears other COM libraries and OCX controls can be registered "on the fly" by first checking if they're available for loading, and then registering them in case they are not. I haven't had luck using this approach with MapWinGIS, but I don't see why it would be different. I don't have time to experiment with this right now, but I wanted to let you know of the approach so that you can try it.
Good luck, and please let me know if you get it working :)
