Windows Common Controls 6.0 - library not registered

Posted on by 1,875

Attempting to import a package for MS Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6), and we get "Object library not registered'. I want to download and register this library, but am not sure the best way. Any help?

    Run the  Setup within a dos shell  in admin mode. then you should find the file in c/Windows/system32, c/Windows, c/program files /... or in the current Setup folder .

    I must be snakebit... I downloaded the file you suggest, and ran it on the server, but it apparently does not put the mscomctl.ocx file on the machine anywhere. I run the regsvr32 command to register it and the file (mscomctl.ocx) cannot be found.

    I should mention, too, that I tried, just on a hunch, to run 'regtlib msdatsrc.tlb' and there is no executable file by the name of 'regtlib' found. This is a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine, 64-bit.

    Thanks, Nataraj, but even after downloading and running the VisualBasic6-KB896559-v1-ENU that should have the file I need, the regsvr32 command cannot find the .ocx file. A search among files on the system for mscomctl.ocx finds no file by that name. Very disappointing...

    Hi Russ,

    If you have the file already then, Please run the command prompt as admin mode and type the below commands

    for 32 bit machine(registration)

    cd C:\Windows\System32

    regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx

    regtlib msdatsrc.tlb

    for 64 bit machine(registration)

    cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64

    regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx

    regtlib msdatsrc.tlb
