Windows 7, 32 bit - MSCOMCTL.OCX "could not be loaded"

[Jonney]

Well, performed a re-install on a 'clean machine' and the problem still exists.

The stupid thing is that I can use a ListView OK but if I try to look at MSComctlLib in the Object Browser VB crashes.

I met this problem before. The reason is that I installed then uninstalled a poor written software which used MSComctl.ocx. I uninstalled/installed VB6/SP6, the problem remained. Then I manually renamed C:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx and put new mscomctl.ocx from my vb6/sp6 installation package and registered MSConctl.ocx by Regsvr32 in DOS command window. Problem is resolved.

I attached mscomctl.ocx info for your reference.
