Could you point how to workaround this mscomctl.ocx instalation on Win7?

Hi Experts

Could you point how to workaround this mscomctl.ocx instalation on Win7?

A customer laptop using Win7 64 bits couldn't install mscomctl.ocx  with administrator privileges:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\REGSRV32 mscomctl.ocx

Since this error occurs:
 User generated image
That means: maybe the module "mscomctl.ocx" doesn't be compatible with the Windows version you are using.
Check if it is compatible with one version x86(32 bits) or x64(64bits) from file regsrv32.exe

I had obtained the mscomctl.ocx from my own Win10 laptop and send it to the customer, maybe it's caused (or not) the bug.

Amazingly when running Dependency walker on my own PC, where it's correctly running,   the report is very extense... so I'm avoiding to ask the customer to do that, added the fact he will have some dificulties on this operation. I'm planning to send him a mscomctl.ocx that runs at a Win7 64bits - for another try...

Do you know any workaround on this problem, like known .DLL(s) that must exist in conjunction?

Thanks in advance!

Here is a Help Article that shows you where to get mscomctl.ocx with pointer to the Microsoft download site.

Hi
I had followed the steps of this article before.
The error is ahead...
I am not sure in this case.  

Can you distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit versions?   I don't know if this will work, but a number of applications I use come both ways.  Otherwise, I don't know.

Works out perfectly with the version I had obtained on my desktop, Win7 64bits.

Thanks for help!
