How do I fix dependencies of file missing problems (OCX files and maybe for other not DLL) ?

Here's an example to fix the dependencies of file missing problem :
http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=85804&highlight=Oinkerwinkle
These are Oinkerwinkle' MDL tools.A lot of them need COMDLG32.OCX.

Again, do the same thing as above, search for it at Google(or other).Then moves it to C:\Windows\System32.
Don't think you can open your application now ! Click the Startup menu and search for Command Prompt.Don't open it first, right click on it and select "Run as Administractor".After opened it, types "regsvr32 COMDLG32.OCX"(example only, if you're not missing COMDLG32.OCX file then types "regsvr32 __" <-Types the name of your file) and then press ENTER button.Something will pops up at this step.
Try to opens your application now

Or you could do the sensible thing and check out the program creator's site first for instructions, given that dlls and similar can be present in different versions and likely cause (un)subtle bugs if you're unlucky. This kind of thing should only ever be a last result.

download it for no worries

Yeh, it could only have been infected with malware.

Try and source a fix from Microsoft as they made Windows. Missing DLL errors are a common problem so are a obvious target for malware developers.

The fact your are missing a DLL may point towards other OS problems. Thus sourcing a fix from Microsoft may be better in the long term as it could fix that and other problems you are not yet aware of.

C:\Windows\ is an important operating system folder. You should never download anything into it that is not signed or not from a well known and trustworth source (who mostly sign anyway).
