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.

 

comdlg32.ocx in Windows 10

Running the command as administrator:-

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>regsvr32 /u Comdlg32.ocx (Enter)

got the following:-

DllUnregisterServer in Comdlg32.ocx succeeded.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>regsvr32 /i Comdlg32.ocx (Enter)

got the following:-

The module "Comdlg32.ocx" was loaded but the entry-point Dllinstall was not found.

Make sure that "Comdlg32.ocx" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.

Tried the programm and it ran just fine.

Many, many thanks as this has been frustrating me for some time.

Best regards,

Kevin.
