Windows 10: ListView Control - MSCOMCTL.OCX - Compatibility between Office

Hi, I have a question. I've developed an app within MSAccess 365 Plus (x64 version). Everything was going well until I test my program on anothers computers.

The problem is that I can't do the ListView Control works on another Office if its version isn't 365. Try registering the * .OCX, try installing the VB Common Controls 6, and thousands of other things and that's why I'm here.


I realized that when I installed version 365, the MSCOMCTL.OCX library was not placed either in "system32" (x86 operating systems) or "syswow64" (x64) but the controls still worked. Then look for that file and I found it in the following path:

- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\vfs\System


That version of MSCOMCTL.OCX is newer and so, I was think "If I can register this OCX maybe the ListView can work on another version of Office" and when I tried to register that file I got the following error:


The module "mscomctl.ocx" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005


I tried everything to solve it but without solution. I've runned the command prompt with admin rights, try the quella3 solution (post) but with no success. So if anyone has an idea.... or maybe that version of MSCOMCTL.OCX can't will be registered by this way, idk.



Thanks so much.

comdlg32.ocx Help

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the frustration when things don't work as expected.

I suggest you to follow the below steps.

When you install software that uses the comdlg32.ocx, the software should automatically register the file for you. In some cases your OCX file may not register properly, and as a result, will provide a "comdlg32.ocx not registered" error. Fortunately,
you can use a built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to re-register your comdlg32.ocx file.

How to re-register comdlg32.ocx from an elevated command prompt (Windows 10).

• Click the Start button.
• Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit
  ENTER yet!
• While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit
  ENTER.
• You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
• Click Yes.
• Type the following command: regsvr32 /u comdlg32.ocx.
• Hit ENTER. This will UN-REGISTER your file.
• Type the following command: regsvr32 /i comdlg32.ocx.
• Hit ENTER. This will RE-REGISTER your file.
• Close the command prompt window.

Re-start the program associated with comdlg32.ocx error.

Hope this helps resolving the issue, if issue persists do get back to us we will be glad to help you.

Thank you.

comctl32.ocx

Hi Joe,



If you’re trying to look for a replacement of comctl32.ocx, it’s possible that it was corrupted or an invalid related registry entry has occurred. Now, let’s try to
manually register this using Microsoft Register Server. Follow these steps:

• Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
  Start.
• Right-click on the result, then select Run as administrator.
• Type this command: regsvr32 /u comctl32.ocx.
• Press Enter to un-register the file.
• Type this command: regsvr32 /i comctl32.ocx.
• Press Enter to re-register your file.
• Close the command prompt.
• Restart your computer and check the result.

Let us know if concern has been resolved.
