To install the new version of COMCTL32.OCX,
download COMCTLZP.EXE. This is a self-extracting zip file that will extract two
files when executed. The first file is README.TXT which contains instructions
very similar to this article. The second file is COMCTL32.EXE. This file is a
setup program that will install COMCTL32.OCX and supporting files on Windows
95, Windows NT 3.51 with Service Pack 5, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000.
Before executing COMCTL32.EXE, you must have the following versions
of the Automation system files on your system:
|
| OLEAUT32.DLL | 2.20.4054 or greater |
| COMCAT.DLL | 4.71 or greater |
| OLEPRO32.DLL | 5.00.4055 or greater |
| ASYCFILT.DLL | 2.20.4056 or greater |
| STDOLE2.TLB | 2.20.4054 or greater |
If you do not have these files, you must first download
and install them as documented in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base
article:
180071 FILE: Msvbvm50.exe Installs Visual Basic 5.0 Run-Time Files
If you have Office 97, Visual Basic 5.0, Visual Studio
97, Internet Explorer 3.0, or Visual C++ 5.0, you should already have these
Automation system files.
Once you are sure you have the correct
Automation system files on your computer, you can install COMCTL32.OCX by
executing COMCTL32.EXE. This will install the following files:
|
| COMCTL32.OCX | 5.00.3828 | Updated ActiveX
control |
| COMCTL32.DEP | 5.00.3828 | Dependency info for
Visual Basic 5.0 Setup Wizard |
| MSSTKPRP.DL | 5.00.3714 | Design-Time Stock
Property Pages |
The setup program does not install a license to use
COMCTL32.OCX for development. You must already have a license installed on your
system by one of the products listed in the applies to section above in order
to COMCTL32.OCX for development.
Version 5.00.3828 of COMCTL32.OCX
fixes two specific problems in version 5.00.3714 of the control. For more
information, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
167122 FIX: FindItem Method of ListView Incorrectly Returns an Error
167123 FIX: COMCTL32.OCX is Binary Incompatible with Previous Version
The Visual Basic 4.0 Setup Kit was not designed to distribute
version 5.00.3828 of COMCTL32.OCX. For COMCTL32.OCX to be deployed correctly
the Automation System Files must be deployed also. To update the Automation
system Files, install MSVBVM50.EXE before you install the setup program created
by the Visual Basic 4.0 Setup Wizard.
Visual Basic 4.0 developers may also want to update the
SWDEPEND.INI entries for COMCTL32.OCX to remove any unnecessary dependencies
for the new control. This prevents the Visual Basic 4.0 Setup Wizard from
distributing unnecessary files.
