Topic: can't find SComm in additional controls of VB
|
| By: Murilo | Posted on: Sep 22 2017 at 08:39:47 PM | Hi,
I installed SComm on my computer, but it does not appear in the additional controls box. Anyone know what could be happening?
Best regards,
Murilo | |

If you're using VB.Net then make sure you're looking in the COM tab. Not the NET tab.
In either case, if you can't see it in the list then click the browse button and navigate to c:windowssystem32scomm32x.ocx and select it. Or, on 64bit windows in the syswow64 folder. | |
| By: Guest | Posted on: Sep 26 2017 at 07:11:54 PM | c:\windows\system32\scomm32x.ocx
or on 64bit machine
c:\windows\syswow64\scomm32x.ocx | |
| By: Guest | Posted on: Oct 20 2017 at 06:05:42 PM | | Thank you for the answers, but the problem was the office's version(64 bits). I've installed the 32bits version and it works!!!!! | |

I have the same problem, can you help me ?
After downloading the installer file, I Double click the installer icon and after a few second the icon disappears. But I can't find the component in the toolbox under excel vba
How to install comm32 in vba ?
config:
Windows 7 64bits
Office 2016 32bits
Thanks | |

Or maybe in the menu across the top you'll see "Additional Components".
Pick that option and browse to
c:\Windows\SysWow64\SComm32x.ocx | |
| By: Guest | Posted on: Nov 14 2017 at 12:15:09 PM | Might be Menu > Tools > "Additional Controls"
That should bring up a list of controls. If it's not in the list then use the Browse button to go to \SysWow64\scomm32x.ocx and select the ocx. It should then appear in your toolbox. | |
| By: isma | Posted on: Nov 14 2017 at 01:30:38 PM | I found the Browse button in "references" but not in "Additional Components"
However I can't find this file anywhere... neither in system32 nor in SysWow64
Something is wrong with the installation | |
| By: isma | Posted on: Nov 14 2017 at 03:15:39 PM | It was an installation issue indeed
My antivirus soft didn't let the installation finish
I fixed the problem by adding an exception
Thank you | |

But some just block it without telling you so you don't know it was blocked.
What Anti-Virus software was it? | |

"Symantec endpoint" | |
