Windows 10: MSCOMCTL.OCX Not Registered

Ive been trying to install my copy of DVD-RB something ive not used on this Win10 pc since i upgraded from WIN 7

But when i try to run it i get this message(image attached)

Ive tried this method from Microsoft but still no joy.

Any help greatly appreciated

:)

 

mscomctl.ocx in Windows 10 no longer will load

It's not simply a matter of registering it. Here's what I know so far:

Apparently Microsoft has created a new version of MSCOMCTL.OCX that is now distributed with some office products (such as MS Access). When installed it can be found in the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\VFS\SystemX86 and is version
7.0.52.6282 dated 9/3/2017.

Moving this to the location where the VB6 IDE wants it (c:\windows\SysWOW64) will now allow the VB6 IDE to work but you must have already registered the previous version with regsvr32. If you try to register the new version you get an error. Also - in
the components view of the VB6 IDE you get TWO copies of MSCOMCTL.OCX - but at least the VB6 IDE continues to work.

You CANNOT distribute the newer version of MSCOMCTL.OCX (the 7.x version) because it will fail to register. So you must be careful to redistribute an older copy of MSCOMCTL.OCX.

Obviously this is messed up.

It looks like a Windows 10 Update has broken the MSCOMCTL.OCX for the VB6 IDE only.

 

mscomctl.ocx issue

Me
"MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered : a file is missing or invalid." Facing this issue in many applications

 

Is the file actually in that folder?

 

Did you install "DVD-RB" from Windows 10 or Windows 7?

If you installed it when you had Windows 7, uninstall it, restart the computer, and re-install it.
Or did you just try to install it right now, with Windows 10?

 

@Samuria No the file is not there

@pepanee This was a fresh install of DVD-RB onto WIN10

 

If the file isn't there it won't work you need to put the file in that folder it won't work in any other folder

 

Where do i find that file in order to put it in there?


Have found it online and all registered and working many thanks
