After performing the v5.5 AUP, when trying to run wcreports from our
server I got the following error(in a popup window):

"mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a
file is missing or invalid"

I was able to run wcreports remotely from workstations on the network,
and all seemed normal until attempting to view any message from any
conference under the messages tab of WcReports. I get a popup error of:

"Runtime error "13" Type mismatch"

Searching the server (NT 4.0 wkst sp6a) revealed mscomctl.ocx was not
present. I placed a copy of the file from a network workstation (a win98
se machine) into the server's /system32/ folder and wcreports appears to
work [normally?]. 

I still get the runtime error on the other workstations though, they
are win95 and win98 OS machines.

I searched the knowledge and message bases, the only reference to
runtime errors I seem to find are for runtime 5 errors in the wcreports
conference.

Any ideas?
