Solution

  • This is an ancient 32-bit control. You have to use c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe, the 32-bit version, and run it from an elevated command prompt. Maybe that works, not using the vendor's installer is in general a fail-whale due to missing dependent DLLs and a missing license key by @hans-passant
