ProgressBar control cannot be load (Library not registered)

Question

I am trying to add a progress bar to my User form but it is giving me "Library not registered" error. What I do is the following:

First I add the progress bar to the toolbox from Tools -> Additional controls

enter image description here

I choose the progressBar from Toolbox options and try to put it in the userForm

enter image description here

It gives me the error:

enter image description here

Apparently I have to add a Library from Tools -> References but I don't know which one is the one that is needed. I google it and I found that the MSCOMCTL.OCX could be the one that I needed but I add this one and I already have the same error.

Someone know which one is the correct?

EDIT

I put my references list so you can see what I am using:

I put more explanation... hope that this will be enough to understand what is going on and to reproduce it. — Iban Arriola, Dec 23 '13 at 15:40
are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit Office 365 version? The reason I ask is, I'm pretty sure a lot of the controls in MSCOMCTL.OCX aren't supported in 64-bit office installs (http://www.slyman.org/blog/2010/11/64-bit-windows-7office-2010-migration-experiences/) . — sous2817, Jan 03 '14 at 18:36

you need a reference to Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6) to utilize the Progress bar. This should have been added when you selected the progress bar.

EDIT Register it.

open a command prompt with admin creds and type in

regsvr32 /s MSCOMCTL.OCX

EDIT#2 on a 64bit machine under admin creds in a command prompt.

cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
regtlib msdatsrc.tlb

I have that one already checked... I will put my references list so you can see what I have. Maybe is another thing missing. – Iban Arriola Dec 23 '13 at 17:46
if you create a brand new workbook, create a new form and add just the progress bar, do you still get the error? – Sorceri Dec 23 '13 at 18:04
Yes I opened a blank powerpoint presentation and create a userForm. When I tried to add the progress bar it gave me the error – Iban Arriola Dec 23 '13 at 18:07
do you have IE 10 installed? – Sorceri Dec 23 '13 at 18:17
I have IE 11 installed. My computer have a windows 8.1 with office 365 – Iban Arriola Dec 24 '13 at 08:22

Do you have VB6 or some other programming language installed on the system? One that shipped with MS Windows Common Controls 6 (SP6)?

IIRC some of these controls can run on any system so long as they're properly installed and registered but can only be used to design/create code on a system where the language they shipped with is installed.

Others controls are compatible with VB but not VBA forms.

With very little extra work, you can create a reasonable progress bar from two text boxes or labels and a bit of code. Lighter weight, requires no installation/registration at the user end.
