Windows 7: MSCOMCTL.OCX Errors

Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its depenencies not
correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

What does this mean and how do I correct it?

Thank you for any help.

Component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not currently registered ...

specific module cannot be found

It's either located in the \Windows\System32\ (x86) or \Windows\SysWOW64\ (x64) folder, and it needs to be re-registered. Open an administrative cmd prompt, change directory (cd) to %windir%\system32 or %windir%\syswow64 (depending on x86 or x64 version of Windows 7), and run the command regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx to re-register the file.

lol its not there, where did it go?

some admin upload it for me please

If you go to the link supplied by Pusspa and click where it reads "Here" then you can download the zip file ready for extracting!

for win 7?

You can download it from Microsoft directly here:

I have tried this and I got the response "DLLRegisterServer in c:\windowssystem32\mscomctl.ocx succeded" but I still get the message "Run-time error '339' component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" when I try to run a certain program. The same program used to work and now it only works in compatability mode (XP SP3).
what can I do to remedy this? Thank you for your help.
