    2. For 32-bit check in C:\Windows\System32\
    3. If you are unable to locate the files, then please download them here and place them in their respective directories

    It’s showing error “this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel.”
    Now what should I do for this?

      You should copy the entire line of command:
      regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx

      that must help!

    You have to run the CMD app as administrator depending on your permissions.

    when write ‘regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx’ on command prompt running a admin.
    this message is viewed to me: The Module “C:\windows\sysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx failed to load. make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files
