trouble with mscomct2.ocx
In order to register mscomct2.ocx (which is in syswow64) I go to cmd.exe as Administrator, then enter : regsvr32.exe c:\windows\syswow64\mscomct2.ocx.
It works and I get the message that it has been registered.
THEN I go to VB 6.0, and under the Project tab I click on "Components". I find "Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0(SP6)" which is mscomct2.ocx.
I check it but whether I then click on "OK" or on "Apply" I get ther message FILE NOT FOUND !!
How can I register it or find it under c:\windows\syswow64 (in Explorer) and yet VB 6.0/Project/Components tells me "File not Found" ? Now what ?

Have you tried unregistering that OCX first before you register it? How about using the Browse button of the Components dialog box in order to add that OCX?

This problem is caused by Internet Explorer 10
Uninstall it to solve.

There's not.
IE is the problem.
IE11 work good without problems.

While the IE10 problem is well known, you may simply be doing this incorrectly.
To begin with, installing VB6 on such a machine should have already taken care of this there. if it didn't, then you didn't install VB6 correctly and probably a ton of other things are broken.
But if you insist on manually self-registering this (and most) ActiveX libraries you must do it from an elevated context.

Bzzt! Not good enough. You are the weakest link, goodbye!
What you need to do is start cmd.exe elevated. The easiest way to do this is to log on as a member of the Administrators group, then press the Windows key, type cmd.exe in the Search box, and then hold Ctrl-Shift and only then press the Enter key. This should result in a UAC prompt. Accept that and an elevated command prompt opens.
