Can't find mscomctllib in add reference

Question

I believe this could be fairly simple to figure out, but I have been trying to for the past few hours in vain and everywhere in the net seems to point me back to here

I get exactly the same error: c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\Microsoft.Common.targets(1558,9): warning MSB3283: Cannot find wrapper assembly for type library "MSComctlLib". ========== Build: 7 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I try to remove and re-add the dependency to fix,but the problem is that I don't find mscomctllib when I go to add reference (com tab). Am I missing something here? Or am I looking for the wrong thing? Am running VS 2010 and converting the app from .net 2.0 to 4.0.

Answer 1

When you're in the COM tab under References, look for "Microsoft Windows Common Controls" or similar. Here it is on my system (Windows 7 / VS2012):

Answer 2

在Windows 7中，它位于C：\\ Windows \\ SysWOW64中，并且是OCX，而不是DLL，因此在VS中，当您添加引用时，单击浏览按钮并在其中查找。
