News About The Broken MSComCTL.ocx Updates On Office >> https://tiurll.com/2toJCe
Microsoft Office 2010 products (or later) install updates that break compatibility of MSCOMCTL.ocx and COMCTL32.ocx. Unfortunately this affects many other programs such Visual Basic 6 SP6 and even Oracle Virtual Box v5. The actual problem is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\TypeLib\\{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}\\2.0 registry key. You can find detailed background information about this problem here.
The VB6 IDE is broken as of 14 December 2017 with regard to MSCOMCTL.OCX. 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 show 2 copies of the mscomctl.ocx possibly due to registration problems. Attempts to unregister and/or reregister fail with error code 0x80004005. In spite of this error (if you had the ocx regisetered prior to copying it into syswow) it seems to work.
For information about how to remove this update, refer to the individual Knowledge Base Articles that are listed in the \"Additional information about this security update\" section. The individual articles contain information about whether the updates may be uninstalled by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.

To use these 32-bit controls, they have to be installed\\/registered with your operating system. Registering a file with the operating system means that the operating system stores the entry of the file in its database and knows it is present in that specific directory. So whenever another application requires it, it can effectively give access of that file.\\r\\n\\r\\nBefore we move on to the workaround of this problem, we need to determine the type of system you are running. The method will be different for 32 bit and 64 bit systems. Check your system type using the steps given below:\\r\\n\\r\\n \\tPress Windows + S, type \\u201csystem information\\u201d in the dialogue box and open the application.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\tYour system type will be mentioned in front of the field. Determine your system type and follow the solutions accordingly.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nFor 64-bit Systems:\\r\\nIf your operating system is 64-bit, follow this solution. The directories on which we work on will be different, otherwise, all the steps will be essentially the same. There are two possibilities; either you already have the file \\u201cMSCOMCTL.OCX\\u201d on your computer. If you do, we only need to register and the problem will be solved. If you don\\u2019t have the file, you will have to get it from somewhere else. We recommend obtaining the file from another computer as the internet is filled with scams and malware who pretend to be the file in need; it is after you download and run them you realize that you just infected your computer.\\r\\n\\r\\n \\tPress Windows + E to launch the File Explorer. Navigate to the following file path:\\r\\n\\r\\nC:\\\\Windows\\\\SysWOW64\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n \\tNow check if the file is already present. If it isn\\u2019t, obtain the file from somewhere safe and paste it here.\\r\\n \\tAfter making sure that the file is in the correct directory, press Windows + S, type \\u201ccommand prompt\\u201d in the dialogue box, right-click on the application and select \\u201cRun as administrator\\u201d.\\r\\n \\tOnce at the command prompt, execute the following commands.\\r\\n\\r\\ncd C:\\\\Windows\\\\SysWOW64 \\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\nWe have changed the current directory of the command prompt. Now we can go ahead registering the file with your operating system. Execute the following command.\\r\\nregsvr32 mscomctl.ocx \\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nRestart your computer after registering the file and check if you can correctly install the application again.\\r\\nFor 32-bit systems\\r\\nIf you have a 32-bit system, the steps will more or less be the same. Our command and the directory on which we work on will be different.\\r\\n\\r\\n \\tPress Windows + E to launch the File Explorer. Navigate to the following file path:\\r\\n\\r\\nC:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n \\tNow check if the file is already present. If it isn\\u2019t, obtain the file from somewhere safe and paste it here.\\r\\n \\tAfter making sure that the file is in the correct directory, press Windows + S, type \\u201ccommand prompt\\u201d in the dialogue box, right-click on the application and select \\u201cRun as administrator\\u201d.\\r\\n \\tOnce at the command prompt, execute the following command:\\r\\n\\r\\ncd C:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nWe have changed the current directory of the command prompt. Now we can go ahead registering the file with your operating system. Execute the following command.\\r\\nregsvr32 mscomctl.ocx \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nRestart your computer after registering the file and check if you can correctly install the application again.\\r\\n\\r\\nNote: We have not listed any means for you to obtain the MSCOMCTL.OCX as most of the links on the internet consist of malware and virus. If you don\\u2019t have the file, try to get it from someone else\\u2019s computer. It should be placed under the same directory as we discussed earlier above. If you are downloading over the internet, make sure the website is authentic and the file you are downloading is safe to download and use.\\r\\n\\r\\nAlso, if you already have the file on your computer and registering it isn\\u2019t solving the problem, delete the file and try running the installation again. In some cases, the installer automatically replaces the file. If it doesn\\u2019t, you have to download the file.\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"#Publisher\",\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Appuals.com\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/appuals.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2022\\/10\\/apuals_new_logo_B-1.png\"},\"publishingPrinciples\":\"https:\\/\\/appuals.com\\/about\\/#go-to-editorial-guidelines\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\/\\/facebook.com\\/appuals\",\"https:\\/\\/twitter.com\\/appuals\",\"https:\\/\\/www.linkedin.com\\/company\\/appuals\\/\",\"https:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/channel\\/UCR--2QnA0vYBfqsmSI3pQ9g\",\"https:\\/\\/www.crunchbase.com\\/organization\\/appuals\"]},\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Kevin Arrows\",\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/appuals.com\\/author\\/admin\\/\",\"description\":\"Kevin is a dynamic and self-motivated information technology professional, with a Thorough knowledge of all facets pertaining to network infrastructure design, implementation and administration.
