Hi dfherrero,
Welcome to MSDN forums!
getting this error message when I try to open the program "Component 'Mscomctl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
-> The Mscomctl.ocx is Windows Common Controls.
Sometime certain Microsoft Libraries can become unregistered when installing and uninstalling a lot of software. One very common problem is the MSCOMCTL.OCX.
To correct the error, first search your drive for MSCOMCTL.OCX to see if you have it. If not you can download it from HERE: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/mscomctl.zip
The file should be placed in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Or, it's in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 if you are using WinXP.
Once it is there click START--> RUN and type "REGSVR32 MSCOMCTL.OCX" (No quotes) in the box to register this control.
That should fix the problem.

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback, please tell us.- I already have the file in my directory, when i run the REGSVR32 MSCOMCTL.OCX command i get this error: 0x8002801c
Do you have a solution to this problem
- Aclol,
I had the same problem you had when i tried it but Martin gave me the solution on my other thread:

To make it easier for you, this is what you have to do:
1. Create a batch file using Notepad and name it "install.bat" if you want.
2. Place this command inside "REGSVR32 MSCOMCTL.OCX" and save it (inside the directory where you have the MSCOMCTL.OCX file.
3. Right-click the batch file and select "Run as administrator"
That worked for me or you could just see the thread and check it out more detailed.
