Error loading ocx file
My application uses winsock.
Recently I have had two users who tried to install on windows 2000 reporting an error
"Failed to load control "Winsock" from MSWINSCK.ocx. Your version of MSWINSCK.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.
I have the parameters for my setup saying do not override if exists.
What should I do to solve this problem?

Yes I did save the downloaded file in the c:\winnt\system32 directory, I have adminitrator rights on the PC.

Although none of the answers specifically solved my problem, there was enough information in them to help me diadnose with certainty that there was something fishy with the clients installation.
It turns out they previously removed software which left enough remnants to somehow inhibit further installations.
All the answers helped and so I have split the points.
Thanks to all of you.

"LoadLibrary("c:\winnt\sys
the rename worked so I assume there is no access permission problem with the system32 directory.
Any further channels to investigate?
