(For Windows 7 users:)

this forum was a breath of fresh air.  I followed the steps of rdnetto - and many thanks to all of you for this great info.  Here is my input.

I am running the newest Chrome (as of 11/17/09) on Windows 7.

Foxit does not install the OCX file when Firefox is NOT installed.  I could not find the OCX file by itself anywhere, so, I installed Firefox and reinstalled Foxit w/ the Firefox addon.  Then, the OCX file was available in the plugins folder in Foxit.  I then copied the .dll to exist in a newly created "Plugins" folder off the Chrome.exe directory (which is NOT in Program Files - definitely search for Chrome.exe).  Then, I kept the OCX where it was, and I registered it, with priveleges in command prompt:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\plugins\FoxitReaderOCX.ocx"

now everything is working fine!
