Thanks Al. I'll see if they want to go this route or just update all 35 pc's...

>>Update: figured out that this comdlg32.ocx now needs to be in syswow64. But cannot use copy command to COPY (lcSource) TO (lcTarget) to copy it into this directory (probably because it is a system directory). If you do it manually via file explorer, you get a dialog asking if you want to continue (assuming you have enough rights).

>>>Hi all,

>>>Used the comdlg32.ocx in an app to allow the user to multi-select files. To automate the setup for the user, I had a utility that checked for this file in their windows\system32 directory and if not found, copy it in and register it. This now fails under Windows 10. Have read some forums and want to confirm:
>>>
>>>- should it still go in \system32 or should it now be in syswow64?
>>>- should the regsvr32 call be from system32 or syswow64 (I have not checked this yet so not sure...wanted to throw this up here before leaving for the night).
>>>
>>>I noticed there is a more recent comdlg32.DLL in system32 now (the .ocx was 1999 vintage) but did not really want to have to figure out how to setup and call that (unless someone has used it and has some quick code for me to convert to that).
