What options do you have to get rid of 'mscomct2.ocx download' issue.

You're correct that this is really painful to hand out to others, but if you have to, this is how you do it.
- Just extract the .ocx file from the .cab file (it is similar to a zip)
- Copy to the system folder (c:windowssysWOW64 for 64 bit systems and c:windowssystem32 for 32 bit)
- Use regsvr32 through the command prompt to register the file (e.g. 'regsvr32 c:windowssysWOW64mscomct2.ocx')
