Download source for mscomctl.ocx ?

Recommended Posts

Windows 7, 32 bit.  I'm trying to run a program and it's throwing up a runtime error 339 and saying something about mscomctl.ocx either missing or not being registered.  I apparently don't have this file on my system.  Is mscomctl.ocx normally found on a win-7 system (that does not have office or visual studio) ?  Does MS make this file available for download?

It is likely this one, Visual Basic 6 Common Controls. It indicates that the program you have was written for XP or earlier OS.

The system requirements do not even list Windows 7. I don't know if the software will actually install. The file just needs to be in System32 OR (more responsibly) in the working dir of the .exe you are trying to run.

The issue here may be that the "whole" VB6 subsystem is needed.

If only mscomctl.ocx is needed, you can get it from here:

and extract it manually with - say - 7-zip.

The .ocx will probably need to be registered, using regsvr32 or regdllview (GUI):
