We think this is because windows 64 bit is mucking about with what directories it is reporting to the regsvr32 although this is just our educated guess. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent. Read here what the OCX file is, and what application you need to open or convert.

The module “c:\windows\system32\mscomct2ocx” failed to load. Type the command Regsvr32, where is the full path and filename. Register the OCX file: Right-click Start. How do I manually register OCX on 64 bit Press the Windows orb to open the Start menu. For Windows 32-bit systems, extract the OCX file to: C:\Windows\System32. Please note, if you try to register the ocx from c: windows\system32 using regsvr32 you will get the following error: Instead, open the exe file using 7-Zip or any other archiving utility and extract the file Comctl32.OCX file to the following folder: Copying the OCX file: For Windows 64-bit systems, extract the OCX file to: C:\Windows\SysWOW64. You need to copy the MSCOMCT2.OCX file to c:\windows\sysWOW64 not c:\windows\system32. You then can register it by running from the command prompt or run in the start menu regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\mscomct2.ocx and it should register although make sure that you run regsvr32 with administrator privileges.
