Missing File: TweakingImgCtl.ocx
« on: June 28, 2016, 07:19:48 pm »
Hi everyone,
I just downloaded Tweaking and installed it. When I run it normally or as Administrator and with Windows Defender turned off I get this Missing File: TweakingImgCtl.ocx

I have Windows 10 64bit operating system

Can someone tell me how to rectify this please?

Thank you.

Hi Denis,

with standard installation path, you'll have to copy the file

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Tweaking.com\Windows Repair (All in One)\files\registry_backup_tool\TweakingImgCtl.ocx

to the directory

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Tweaking.com\Windows Repair (All in One)\

manually.

Hi petsie and Boggin than you for your replies. The problem now is that I tried to restart my pc, but it is stuck before it gets to the login screen. It has  been stuck there for about 5 hours so far. I did try to boot it with a recovery usb, but it would not boot.

Eventually I did get to recovery and selected advanced and tried to go back to a previous restore point, but it said it was not successful. I tried to reboot again and it stuck with the spinning wheel and won't get to the point where I can put in my password.

So until I can get my pc to log in somehow I cannot try your solutions.

Are you able to boot it up into Safe Mode to try the restore point again - you may need the Win 10 ISO bootable media for this.

Hi everyone,
I would like to thank everyone for their help. Finally, after 3 days of frustration I have finally managed to repair my PC with Tweaking.com

Thank you again.

That's good to hear - how did you get past the "spinning wheel" to log in ?

I just kept shutting down the PC until I could into recovery/safe mode. I then followed the instructions you guys gave me and now Windows is operating. Unfortunately, in one of my attempts before I could get tweaking working I did a repair which deleted some of my programs which I now have to re-install.

Is that where 3 successive shutdowns gets you into the recovery mode ?

Shane modified 3.9.4 so that error won't occur again, so if you were still getting that error, you can reinstall WR - although there's been no change to the version number but if you copied that .ocx file then there would be no need.

I upgraded before I saw the threads to report it to Shane but I didn't get the error and when I checked, I already had the file where it should be.
