Problem registering OCX

[BrianSmith]

When I try to register MSCOMCTL.OCX I get the error message:

MSCOMCTL.OCX is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type.

This is the only time I've had this error. This is also the first time I've tried this on Windows Server 2003 64bit.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try this:

cd c:\windows\syswow64
regsvr32...

64 bit windows has a 64 bit version of regsvr32 which isn't compatible with older OCXs.

The above directory contains the compatible 32 bit version.
