Windows 10: mscomctl.ocx registration

I initially was getting this error when trying to start an application. This application has started right up in the past with no issues.My mscomctl.ocx file was in C:\program files\microsoft office\roor\vfs\system. Probably placed there by some recent MS office downloads. Anyway it is to normally be in the Windows\syswow64 folder. So I moved it there and tried to register it there and now getting this error.Potential solutions online look above my pay grade. I checked for any corrupt files and did not find any. Any ideas besides the pay for resolution path?

.ocx registration

I have a new HP desktop with pre-installed Windows 10. I also have a few older programs that need MSCAL.OCX. I have tried a lot of the on-line suggestions but cannot get the .OCX registered. At the command prompt I enter 'regsvr /i mscal.ocx' and get
the error message "The module was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed ... error 0x002801c" I have spent way too much time ... HELP!

comdlg32.ocx Help

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the frustration when things don't work as expected.

I suggest you to follow the below steps.

When you install software that uses the comdlg32.ocx, the software should automatically register the file for you. In some cases your OCX file may not register properly, and as a result, will provide a "comdlg32.ocx not registered" error. Fortunately,
you can use a built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to re-register your comdlg32.ocx file.

How to re-register comdlg32.ocx from an elevated command prompt (Windows 10).

• Click the Start button.
• Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit
  ENTER yet!
• While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit
  ENTER.
• You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
• Click Yes.
• Type the following command: regsvr32 /u comdlg32.ocx.
• Hit ENTER. This will UN-REGISTER your file.
• Type the following command: regsvr32 /i comdlg32.ocx.
• Hit ENTER. This will RE-REGISTER your file.
• Close the command prompt window.

Re-start the program associated with comdlg32.ocx error.

Hope this helps resolving the issue, if issue persists do get back to us we will be glad to help you.

Thank you.
