  2. 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.

    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.

    OCX DATA CONTROL AND W10

    Windows 10 and ocx controls not registering

    Problem:

    After installing a program that was designed in Visual Studio 6 and running it as "Run As Administrator" you receive issues that various OCX controls are not registered. One of the most common ones is mscomctl.ocx.

    You do not receive these messages when you do not "Run as Administrator".

    If your windows 10 was an upgrade you will not receive these errors.

    If, after you install your program, you create a new windows local user, then login to that user, you will also not receive the error when you select "Run as Administrator'

    This has been verified on Windows 10 Pro and Home, Retail and OEM.

    This will also happen if you do a Reset/Refresh of Windows 10 and have it erase all files.

    One Solution:

    You can run two simple commands at an elevated command prompt to resolve the issue (I do not recommend doing this unless you are on a clean install. Doing so may impact other programs that run 32bit OCX's)

    for %f in (c:\windows\syswow64\*.ocx) do regsvr32 -u -s %f

    for %f in (c:\windows\syswow64\*.ocx) do regsvr32 -s %f

    This will unregister all ocx controls in the syswow64 folder and then reregister them.

    Another Solution:

    If you do not feel that you wish to un-register / re-register your ocx's, simple create a new "LOCAL" user in windows 10, log into it. This will fix the issue that is mentioned here.

    I have seen many posted issues related to OCX's and Windows 10 not registering with MVP's and other telling you to reregister your ocx. This may resolve an issue with that single OCX, however, the next program you install may need another. I hope that
    someone at Microsoft will actually read this, look into it and post a fix. Since there are still many companies that user VS6 applications that rely on these ocx's , this will save many hours of troubleshooting.

    If you have any other suggestions that may assist with this, or know of a fix that can be applied to resolve this, Please post your solution.

    Thanks
