SUMMARY
COMCTLZP.EXE is a compressed file that contains an updated version of Comctl32.ocx and its supporting files for Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51 with Service Pack 5, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000.

If you own Visual Basic 4.0 or the Office Developer Edition 97 the update is available as a separate download.

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:
180071 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:
167122 FIX: FindItem Method of ListView Incorrectly Returns an Error
167123 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.
