Answer 1

Also when you register the component make sure you use the 32-bit version of regsvr32.exe. If you simply run regsvr32.exe in a elevated prompt, it will default take the standard 64-bit version (which oddly enough is located in C:\Windows\System32)

The version I believe you need is located in C:\Windows\SysWow64\regsvr32.exe
