valid_tabctl32_path = r'C:PathtoValidtabctl32.ocx'
# Specify the path to the system's OCX folder (usually located in System32 or SysWOW64)
ocx_folder = r'C:WindowsSystem32'
try:
# Check if the tabctl32.ocx file already exists in the system's OCX folder
if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(ocx_folder, 'tabctl32.ocx')):
# If the file is missing, copy the valid tabctl32.ocx file to the OCX folder
shutil.copy(valid_tabctl32_path, ocx_folder)
# Register the OCX file using the regsvr32 command
subprocess.call(['regsvr32', '/s', os.path.join(ocx_folder, 'tabctl32.ocx')])
print("Component tabctl32.ocx repaired successfully.")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error occurred while repairing tabctl32.ocx: {str(e)}")

Remember to run this code with administrative privileges to ensure the necessary permissions for copying and registering the OCX file.
