- If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, copy the "Mscom.dll" file and paste it into the "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" as well.
NOTE! On Windows operating systems with 64 Bit architecture, the dll file must be in both the "sysWOW64" folder as well as the "System32" folder. In other words, you must copy the "Mscom.dll" file into both folders.
- In order to complete this step, you must run the Command Prompt as administrator. In order to do this, all you have to do is follow the steps below.

The file that we pasted into the System32 folder will not be damaged).
%windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Mscom.dll
- If you have a 64 Bit operating system, after running the command above, you must run the command below. This command will clean the Mscom.dll file's damaged registry in 64 Bit as well (The cleaning process will be in the registries in the Registry Editor< only. In other words, the dll file you paste into the SysWoW64 folder will stay as it).
%windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Mscom.dll
