Vista COMDLG32.OCX problem
Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 12:14 am
I'm running the command prompt using administrator privileges, and I tried registering something else using regsvr32, and it worked, giving me a proper message of affirmation. However, when I type regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\COMDLG32.OCX in the command prompt, I get the error, "The module "C:\Windows\System32\COMDLG32.OCX" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found.
however, I am sure I have the COMDLG32.OCX file in the system32 folder. I am using vista 64 bit, could that be the problem?
Thanks for the help
Edit: perhaps it's possible that I downloaded the comdlg file incorrectly? I used firefox, right clicked on the link to the file and hit "save link as", then added .OCX to the name and saved it to the desktop. Perhaps its registering as a "firefox document" instead? how could I save it differently? It seems to be saving as "COMDLG32.OCX.htm", and I can't save it as anything else
