0x8007041d error fix...possibly

My windowsupdate was not working. MS suggested I reinstall XML parser, which
did not work. I looked at the activex tools I had installed, as I kept
getting asked to install the same activex controls over and over before
having the installer kill the entire process and generate an error message.

I actually had two error messages:
0x80246002 (first)
0x8007041d (later)

I finally noticed that activex control
{9F1C11AA-197B-4942-BA54-47A8489BB47F} was damaged. Specifically, IUCTL.DLL
was damaged/broken. The dependent files can be found at below link, and just
need to be extracted into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, or at least that fixed my
problems:

Caveat: check your Downloaded Program Files subfolder in the Windows folder
to see if your activex control is broken before doing the above, else you'll
waste your time.

Anyways, cheers, and hope this helps a couple of people.
