How can I run CMD as Administrator under Windows 7 64bit Home Premium?

Hi:

I am new both here and Windows 7. Having a problem to run
Regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx under CMD prompt.

An application was installed to a computer with Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. But it could not run correctly telling me that it is comdlg32.ocx error.

Under C:\Windows\System32 after select CMD
Enter

Regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx

and an error message would be shown.

No problem to Windows7 Prof 64bit if I select run as Administrator to CMD there.

Any advice and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

Use the lower left Orb to 'Search'

Type in "CMD" (without the quotes).

When CMD.exe shows in the list, right click it and select Run as Administrator.

However, that CommonDialog OCX you are trying to register is a VB6 control and VB6 can be problematic with 64bit.

Best of luck though

If you are intending to run VB6 apps then you might need to register quite a few more DLL's and OCX's and if so it might be quicker to put the whole regsvr32 list in a .BAT file and run that as Administrator.

As a help, these are the main components you may wish to consider:

regsvr32 itircl.dll
regsvr32 itss.dll
regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
regsvr32 VBPrnDlg.dll (if used)
regsvr32 Msflxgrd.ocx
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 SYSINFO.OCX
regsvr32 MSSTDFMT.DLL
regsvr32 MSHFLXGD.OCX
regsvr32 MSCOMM32.OCX
regsvr32 COMCT232.OCX
regsvr32 COMCT332.OCX
regsvr32 Msmask32.ocx
regsvr32 MSCOMCT2.OCX
regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx
regsvr32 threed32.ocx
regsvr32 dbgrid32.ocx
regsvr32 DBLIST32.OCX
regsvr32 comctl32.ocx
regsvr32 RICHTX32.OCX
regsvr32 TABCTL32.OCX
regsvr32 msrd2x35.dll
regsvr32 msjet35.dll

Have you tried running the program in Windows Vista or even Windows XP compatibility mode?

• Compatibility Mode
• Program Compatibility Assistant Enable Disable

If that does not work, you can maybe try Windows XP Mode:

• Windows Xp Mode Install Setup

I run cmd in the administrator mode by creating a shortcut to cmd.exe and
running the shortcut as administrator.
works for me.
