RC4 error: component 'mscomct2.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

Featured Replies

I have installed RC4 on my laptop with Vista but when I start RC4 I have an error: 'component 'mscomct2.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid'.How can I fix that?

Sorry, I don't see the fix for mscomct2.ocx in this FAQ.

This is a 32 bit version from Vista, ocx file is in the system32 folder.

Update: it's working fine now. I use it as an administrator and it works fine. Thanks for the help.

did you start the cmd window as admin?click start, type in cmd in the search box, highlight the cmd.exe it finds. press ctrl-shift-enter, not enter, not double clicking it.you can't register it, unless you are running as adminand of course, the mscomct2.ocx has to be in the \syswow64 directory.

I will descripe now exactly what I do:1: Load mscomct2.ocx from http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/suppo...me=MSCOMCT2.OCX2: Save it in C:\Windows\SysWOW643: Run CMD as Adminstrator 3.1:enter Cd \windows\syswow64 (enter) 3.2:enter regsvr32 mscomct2.ocx (enter) 3.3:I get a message from RegSvr32 that the registration was sucessful.4: I run RC as Adminstrator and got the same errormesgge: RC4 error: component 'mscomct2.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
