I get the below error trying to refer the mscomct2.ocx file, in VB6 IDE on a Windows 7 32 bit PC. The IDE is run on elevated mode.
I tried many solutions from SO and other sources, but nothing works for me.
- unregistered and re registered from a elevated command prompt
- deleted and restored this file from backup and ms sites.
- tried finding if duplicate mscomct2.ocx are registered in other paths. but only 1 file under windows\system32 is found in the PC
Any quick help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I currently am able to use all common controls. So it's likely just a matter of re-registering the ocx file: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/146219
