How to solve Microsoft Visual Basic Automation Unspecified error

Your problem can be solved by registering a system file in your system. You have to re-register “Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0” components to correct this error.

1. Start Command Prompt with administrative privilege. Right-click on Command Prompt, select “Run as administrator”.
2. Now, run the following command according to your system:
   For 32-bit OS: regsvr32 “c:windowssystem32mscomctl.ocx”
   For 64-bit OS: regsvr32 “c:windowssyswow64mscomctl.ocx”
3. A success message will appear saying that the files are registered successfully. Click “OK”

Now, your problem should disappear.
