MS_Andrew 02-04-13@06:41 Hey , Its should actually be the Syswow64 folder not system Just a heads up, ‘System32 is for 64bit files ‘SysWOW64 is for 32bit files it _may seem backwards but WOW stands for windows on windows , Its basically an emulator or Virtual Environment if you like, Tt allows you to run 32bit programs on a 64bit os dk 26-04-13@20:03 You are God! Thank you. C:\Windows\System was ok for me on Wins 64bit dk 26-04-13@20:40 After reading this: nttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/{"955767.aspx and this: http: wwww.samlogic.net/articles/32-64-bit-windows-folder- x86-syswow64.htm its clear that better choice is SysWOWS4, Thanks MA_Andrew for a hint, Anas 07-05-13@ 15:18 Thanks dear..it is working, Angela 15-05-13@21:27 You have no idea how awesome this is.

I copied the files from that .msi fle into c:/windows/system/ folder, then registered the 4 required VB files I was missing and it worked fine.

Walker 21-12-13@17:40 Guys, in my test system running Win8.1 x64, that error code (080004005 only appears when these conditions are met: 1. The said OCX has already been registered. And, 2. Executing regsvr32_on a non-Administrator Windows Command Prompt window (J.e. running cmd.exe without elevated privilege) Solnasonen 02-02-14@22:54 There is no 64 bit version of comdlg32.0cx. It's 2 32 bit COM solution, You can stil register the ocx. For Vista Ultimate x64, you need to place the Comdig32.0cx in the \Windows\SysWoW6A\ dir. you can hen run *regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Corndig32,0cx" and it will register the file, The \Windows\system32\ cir is for 64 bit dlls only, kurt 07-05-14@15:51 Thanks man, it's works.

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications box with the text, Compile Error Variable not defined T click OK, stop the script, open tools/references, it does not show any missing files. It points me to Microsoft Activex Data Objects 6.1 Library. I can browse out to the msado.dll file. Do you have any idea of what I can do to get this to work?
