Hi,

This is a follow on document to my previous blog on “Read COMM port using ABAP w/o third party software”. In this blog I will try to explain step-by-step on how to download and activate Windows activeX control MSCOM32.OCX on the client PC where the Weighbridge’s serial port is connected.

1. The user is trying to register Comctl32.ocx. The file is in C:windowssystem32. The user has Windows 10 Home. When trying to register using: Regsvr32 c:windowssystem32comctl32.ocx The user gets the message: The module 'comctl32.ocx' failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with.
2. The file is actually MSXML4.DLL, not MSXM14.DLL so that would explain the failure to register that DLL. However, the problem is not likely with the DLL itself but is more a permission-related quirk with Vista.
3. To solve this problem, copy the MSCOMCT2.OCX file to c: windows sysWOW64. Register it, by running the command prompt or running regsv432 from the Start menu, as follows: regsvr32 c: windows sysWOW64 mscomct2.ocx.

Go to the link http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mscomm32.cab and download the file mscomm32.ocx

If you are running Windows on 32 bit machine Copy the file that you have downloaded to C:WindowsSystem32 folder.
