MORE INFORMATION ================ The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center: comctlzp.exe (http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/update/1/w97/EN-US/comctlzp.exe) For additional information about how to download Microsoft Support files, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services Microsoft used the most current virus detection software available on the date of posting to scan this file for viruses. Once posted, the file is housed on secure servers that prevent any unauthorized changes to the file. 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: +-------------------------------------+ | Filename | Version | +-------------------------------------+ | 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: Q180071 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: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Filename | Version | Description | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 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: Q167122 FIX: FindItem Method of ListView Incorrectly Returns an Error Q167123 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.
