Controlling NSI2000 from LabWindows

I'm trying to use LabWindows 2015 to interface with Nearfield Systems Inc.'s NSI2000 antenna control program.  Does anyone know how to do this?  The NSI2000 manual says their software can be controlled from an outside application by using Active-X.  But when I use CVI's "Create Active-X Controller" wizard, I have to choose from a list of dozens of registered Active-X servers starting with "NSI", none of whose function lists appear to correspond to the selections on NSI2000's user interface. 

 

To make things more confusing, there is a registered Active-X server called "NSI2000" in the list, but when I try selecting it I get an error message saying "Error loading type library/DLL".  NSI's tech support says this is because "the reference to NSI2000 is an Active-X executable, not a DLL".  They referred me to the NSI2000 scripting manual, but the only example it gives is about controlling NSI2000 from MS Word using macros.

A section of this document mentions how to register ActiveX executables, I'm not sure if the problem is related to it not registering, but can you verify if this helps with what you are seeing.
