I have reinstalled RC4 from the CD under Windows 7 RC. The installation went without errormessages. But when I try to run RC4 I get this message'Component MSCCOMCT2,OCX or one of its dependices not correctly registered : a file is missing or invalid'and RC won't run at all. What to do about it?

Try here: LinkI had a similar problem installing Radar Contact into Windows 7...a key file (the name of which I totally forget!) wasn't registered, just like the message you're seeing. I googled for an answer and found a similar link, had to download a replacement file, register it with regsvr32 command, and all was good. I hope this helps...but proceed cautiously.

If you are using 64 bit, the file will need to go in the \windows\SysWOW64 folder then run the regsvr32 command as described. Just had to do that yesterday and RC seems to be working fine.

I'm using Win 7 64 bit and see that there already is a MSCOMCT2.OCX in my \windows\SysWOW64 folder. Can I not just try to register it? The link previously given does not help me. I can't download MSCOMCT2.OCX file there. If following instructions I end up with HTML type file downloaded.

From the "run" command option, try typing the regsvr32 command this way:regsvr32 "path/mscomct2.oxc"for path, include the complete path to that particular file and don't forget to use the quotation marks as well...as I recall, that's what worked for me. Good luck.

That command resulted in an error code 0x8002801c

Sorry about that...I was going from memory as I had to register a system file in order to install RC in Win7. Since my advice was faulty, try the guidance here:MS link

probably should be .ocx not .oxcjd

No this is not the problem. I had .ocx correct. This is the exact message I getThe module c:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscomct2.ocx was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c
