If it helps I am running Windows 10 64-bit platform.
I got around this problem by setting up a virtual machine running Windows XP. Thus, you are not at risk for modifying your running system and you can safely run the software to unpack the installer and successfully extract the exe from the cab file. I can't recall if you still needed to grab mscomctl.ocx, but since it's a VM it's doesn't matter.
