Mscomct2.ocx is an ActiveX control that is distributed with Visual Basic
6.0. It is not distributed with XP Professional, in and of itself.
I solved the problem this way:
Mscomct2.ocx can be downloaded from here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http%3a%2f%2factivex.microsoft.com%2fcontrols%2fvb6%2fMSCOMCT2.CABI used an extract.exe I pulled from a Windows 98 disk and unpacked the
downloaded CAB. You can download an extract.exe from this Microsoft page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/extract-o.aspI then copied the mscomct2.ocx to the windows\system32 directory. In a
command window at that directory I typed:
regsvr32 mscomct2.ocx
This registers the control, and, BAM, no more "missing resource file
mscomct2.ocx" errors reported in the system transcript. Since this
control doesn't come standard with XP, it should probably be deprecated.
