Windows Common Controls (MSCOMCT2.OCX)

[dave.menere]

I've just upgraded my computer and it comes with Windows 8 and IE10. All of my previous macros (VB 6.0) used MS Windows Common Controls (MSCOMCT2.OCX)and this file is no longer around - hence my macros don't work!
I've downloaded the missing file from MS but it doesn't install.
I can't believe I'm the only person to experience this - are there any nice easy remedies out there for my problem?
Thanks in advance, Dave

What do you mean by "it doesn't install"? This OCX is a library that
needs to be registered via regsvr32 to be recognized in your VBA
projects. I usually distribute this (and others) using a manifest so
registration isn't required but in the case of setting a ref for a VBA
project, registering is required on the host computer running your
project.
