Error de DllRegisterServer 0x8002801c

Error 0x8002801c occurs when there is a problem accessing the OLE registry (linking and embedding objects). Insufficient system permissions will trigger this error code when an OCX file registration does not complete (Control Extension OLE). This is known to occur frequently when using regsvr32 via command prompt in Windows 7.

It is common to see this error code when trying to register an OCX file from C: Windows system 32. Most of the time, the call to the DLLRegisterServer fails due to a permissions issue and has nothing to do with the actual OCX component that is trying to register.

Fortunately, error 0x8002801c can be avoided by copying the OCX file to C: Windows SysWOW64 and repeating the operation with administrator privileges. If you are currently dealing with this issue, follow the step-by-step guide below to remove error 0x8002801c and properly register your OCX file.

Repair error 0x8002801c after OCX file registration failed

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to your Windows partition. Then go to Windows> Windows 32 and use the search bar to find the OCX file.

   Note: In this case, the file name is MSCOMCT2.OCX, but this procedure can be replicated in any OCX component that is not registered.

2. Copy the OCX file to your clipboard. Then go back to the Windows folder and open the folder called sysWOW64. Then just paste the OCX file there.

   

3. Open the Start menu (lower left corner) and type »cmd«. Later, right-click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.

   

4. At the elevated command prompt, write regsvr32 + the OCX component. In our case, the final command would be »regsvr32 MSCOMCT2.OCX». When I press Enter, you will be prompted for a message saying that the file has been successfully registered.

   

That's all. You can use these four steps to grant the proper permissions to any OCX file that is causing the error code 0x8002801c. Most of the time it will allow you to register the ActiveX component and eliminate the problem.
