    nope .... same error.

    To make sure I am doing this right:

    In windows 7 - I click "start"
    In the search bar I type "cmd"
    This shows the cmd under programs, I right click and choose "Run as Administrator"
    I get the User Account Control pop up ... allow the following program to make changes....etc. .... I click on "Yes"
    This brings up the Dos looking window, in it has

    c:\windows\system32>

    I type: regsvr32 MSCOMM32.ocx
    or: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\MSCOMM32.ocx

    And still get the error ?

    As far as I can see, you're accessing the command right. Maybe unregistering the file, deleting it then downloading it again might work I'm out of ideas

    I had the same problem


    mscomm32.ocx was in the sysWOW64 folder but not the system32. I copied it to system32 and it worked fine.

    It worked but the file was not there?

    So I copied the mscomm32.ocx from the system32 folder to the sysWOW64 folder.
    I was then able to go to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and run the regsvr32.exe

    So far the program that needed it seems to be working

    THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!
