How do I register mscomct2.ocx on a Windows 7 machine
I upgraded my development machine from XP to Windows 7, which I also use for compiling. I have VB6 projects that use this OCX. I'm getting an error when I try to load a project referencing this OCX. (Object Library not registered).
When I remove the OCX reference from the VBP, the error goes away.
How do I get this registered?

This article says that it is supported in Windows 7 but it's not in the same place as it would be in XP. Also give instructions on how to 'register' it. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/mscomctlocx-dependency-error-attempting-to-install/f96acaa3-90d7-437a-a9cc-9130eb17fdb4?auth=1
The general way to register files is to type
regsvr32 [FilePath]
in the Windows 'Run' box.

Using regsvr32 gives a message that it succeeded. Only it did not.
After doing regsvr32 I rebooted. Then I deleted mscomct2.ocx from the VBP. I opened the project and did not get an error. When I tried to add the controls in that OCX, I got the same error.
So, I still need a solution.
By the way, my Windows 7 is 32 bit.
