Installing MSCOMCT2

This document provides instructions for installing MSCOMCT2.OCX and FM20.DLL files in 64-bit versions of Windows for use with 32-bit versions of Office. It explains that these files need to be extracted to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and then registered using the regsvr32 command in an elevated command prompt to enable certain add-ins to function. The user is directed to open an administrator command prompt, navigate to the C:\Windows\system32 folder, and run regsvr32 commands with the paths to each file.

Installing MSCOMCT2.OCX and/or FM20.

DLL
MSCOMCT2.OCX is a 32 bit object library for Windows, and being a 32 bit library it is not
included with 64 bit versions of Windows and is not compatible with 64 bit versions of
Office. It may however be installed in 64 bit versions of Windows for use with 32 bit versions
of Office, to enable a number of the add-ins from my web site www.gmayor.com to be used
on recent PC hardware.
To install one or both of the files, extract them from the zip to the folder:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Next locate the Command Prompt from the Windows Start Menu > All Programs >
Accessories.

Right click and select Run as Administrator (even if you are the administrator of the PC)

For Windows 8 See http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2754-elevated-commandprompt-open-windows-8-a.html


You should then see a window similar to that shown below.
The Window should open to the folder C:\Windows\system32 as shown in the next
illustration.
If the command line indicates any other folder type:
CD\ C:\Windows\system32 at the flashing cursor and press the Enter key.

Next type regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscomct2.ocx" and press the enter


key.

You should be rewarded with a message that the registration has been successful. An error
message suggests that you have not followed the instructions correctly.

For FM20.DLL, repeat the process substituting FM20.DLL for MSCOMCT2.OCX.
