My application uses winsock.
Recently I have had two users who tried to install on windows 2000 reporting an error

"Failed to load control "Winsock" from MSWINSCK.ocx. Your version of MSWINSCK.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application."
I confirmed that the user had appropriate access rights on the system32 directory and asked them to install fresh copies of the winsck.ocx using regsvr32.exe
This time we get the following error message consistently:
"LoadLibrary("c:\winnt\system32\mswinsck.ocx") failed - The specific module could not be found"
I do not know where to proceed from here, any ideas welcome.
