[AccessD] Fixing the Microsoft Windows Common Control Library (MSCOMCTL.OCX) Security Update

Hi Dan 

Thanks. Then, I guess, there has to be more into it than just deleting this
entry.

Hi Gustav,

I have tried just getting rid of that registry entry, but that did not solve
the problem.  Only the approach they describe (and yes it's awkward)
actually worked for me.

Hi Dan

No, the cited reason was the only one listed. It seems valid, but it is an
awkward method to get rid of that entry.

Hi Gustav,

As one who tried several ways to fix this - the FMS approach was the only
one I could count on.  I think the FMS site had a description of why it did
work.

Hi John

Thanks, but how convoluted can you do things:

<quote>
By installing and uninstalling the legacy control, it cleans up the 2.0
registry so the new version is installed properly. The offending registry
that needs to be deleted is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}\2.0
</quote>

So why not just delete this entry and reinstall the new version?

I thought this was a concise set of instructions for those suffering this
problem:
