• Tech should initially log in with their Tech credentials (which should already have admin status. If not see the Systems Administrator.)
• Log into the TechShare network drive (\\\echshare.pascack.org), navigate to the TempSwap section and then to the "PaperVision Stuff" folder.
• Copy the "PaperVision - Complete" folder to the "C:/Users/Public/Public Documents" folder
• From within the "PaperVision - Complete" folder, navigate to the "papervision dlls" folder and copy all of the .dll & .ocx files to the laptop's C:/Windows/sysWOW64 folder
• Open Terminal or Command Prompt and, minimally, enter the following 3 commands singularly and hitting ENTER after each:
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\stamin32
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\mscomctl.ocx
[ TECH NOTE: After executing the above commands for "mscomctl.ocx" & "comdlg32.ocx" you'll receive an error message which can be 'OK'ed'/ignored ]
¡¡¡
{ OPTIONAL SECTION • Additionally, one can also enter the following commands, but they're not necessary for PaperVision to work, but they were in there, so what the heck!:
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.ocx
¡¡¡
• Once those .dll's & ocx's are registered, locate the "PaperVision Distribution Assistant.exe" application, right click on it and select "Run as Administrator"
• In the ensuing "Windows protected your PC" window, click on the "More info" link there within
• Click on the "Run anyway" button
• In the ensuing "User Account Control' window, click "Yes"
• Log out of admin account to get to the windows login window
• Log in as user on user's laptop
• From the "C:/Users/Public/Public Documents" folder, copy, not move(!), the "PaperVision - Complete" folder to the user's Documents folder (as so they don't inadvertently delete or "otherwise" it)
• From that "PaperVision - Complete" folder, create a shortcut for "PaperVision Distribution Assistant.exe" on user's desktop
• Open "PaperVision Distribution Assistant.exe"
• In the ensuing "User Account Control" window, enter Tech's admin credentials and the click on the "Yes" button
• Application should open
• Go home
[ TECH NOTE: There was one instance in which the app didn't open on the first attempt. Tech had to re-run the regsvr32 commands again in Terminal, had to then right click on the app and select "Run as administrator" again and then did the app open. Jus' sayin' is all…]
WHAT LIES BELOW ARE THE RESOURCES THAT WERE USED TO COOBLE THIS
PROCEDURE ALL TOGETHER. YOU MAY PERUSE IT TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT,
WHATEVEA FLOATS YER BOAT!:
Copy stamin32.dll to C:/WIndows/SysWOW64
Copy comdlg32.ocx to C:/WIndows/
mscomctl [NOTE: empty folder]
Description
When launching the PaperVision Distribution Assistant, a user may receive the following message: The dynamic link library Stamin32.DLL could not be found in the specified path.
Summary
This problem occurs when the user logged into Windows is not a full administrator on the machine. When Distribution Assistant is run for the first time, it needs to install and register some DLL’s for the product to function properly. The recommended way to fix this issue is to log out of Windows and log in as a full administrator on the machine and run the application again. Once the PaperVision Distribution Assistant application has successfully been run once as an admin, it should then function for any user on that system.
A user can also manually register the file to resolve this issue. Follow these steps to manually register the file:
Click the Windows Start button and select Run
Type the following command: REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\STAMIN32.DLL
Press Enter to execute the command
Once registered, attempt to run Distribution Assistant again and it should now function for any user on this system.

Where do I find this file with " ComDlg32.OCX " in Windows 10
Earlier today I was trying to run two different applications not Microsoft and both came up with an error:
Run-time error 339
Component 'ComDlg32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered.
A file is missing or invalid.
My computer is running on Windows 10 Professional 64X and the version is 1709 and OS Build is 16299.19
Now where will I look for this file in System32 or SysWow64 in Windows folder in main drive. If not then tell me where to locate the file or have to download them from Microsoft or somewhere else?

More: you'll probably find (from an admin command prompt) this fails.
REGSVR32 C:\Windows\System32\comdlg32.ocx
The fudge is to ensure the file is present as below and run this command:
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.OCX

I continue to get this message, "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" It is stopping me from running a program that all of my coworkers have no issues running.

Copying comdlg32.ocx from another computer to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder should fix the issue in most cases.
After sourcing the file, run the command (from admin Command Prompt).
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.ocx
Note: If your Windows 10 is 32-bit, copy it to the "C:\Windows\System32" folder instead.

After sourcing the file, run the command (from admin Command Prompt).
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\comdlg32.
Note: If your Windows 10 is 32-bit, copy it to the "C:\Windows\System32" folder instead.
The ocx control should be in your Syswow64 (if 64 bit pc) folder and not in the app folder, and it needs to be registered manually (common vb6 problem in Win7, 8 ,10).
It seems you can see the file, but it might not be registered.
Run cmd in administrator mode, type regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX.
This should solve the problem
