Yes - after testing the installer, this new MSCOMCTL.OCX cannot be registered and installers will fail. I suspect this is going to be a serious problem for anyone trying to maintain a VB6 project that uses this component! Developer Microsoft Corporation Product MSCOMCTL Description Windows Common Controls ActiveX Control DLL Filename MSCOMCTL. Hi Colleagues, after I installed Identity center on Windows 7, I am trying to add new repository but I encounter below error: 'component MSCOMCTL.
This likely means installations will fail. Download and install MSCOMCTL.OCX to fix missing or corrupted ocx errors. Please ensure that the file is self-registering and verify that the self-registration When building an installer (Using InstallShield) it complains that: "The build was unable to extract COM information from the file. In spite of this error (if you had the ocx regisetered prior to copying it into syswow) it seems Attempts to unregister and/or reregister fail with error code 0x80004005. Once downloaded, click the MSCOMCTL.exe and extract the file to your C:WINDOWSsystem32 directory. If the file is missing you can download it HERE. The path to the file is typically: C:WINDOWSsystem32 if you are running Windows XP. Not quite the same programs installed on both machines, could be that the OCX file was. If you copy the MSCOMCTL.OCX from c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\VFS\SystemX86 to c:\Windows\SysWOW64 then it appears to work - HOWEVER the VB6 IDE will now showĢ copies of the mscomctl.ocx possibly due to registration problems. First search your local drive for MSCOMCTL.OCX to see if it is missing. Hi there, it seems that MSCOMCTL.OCX might be missing from the 8.3.0 installer: I had the problem on a machine with Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit), but it wasnt an issue on a different machine with Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit). The VB6 IDE is broken as of 14 December 2017 with regard to MSCOMCTL.OCX.
