Problem Installing AMEX Simulator

I wondering how can we transfer file to VM like VMware ESXi.

Our DevOps told me to upload file another server and retrieve from WinSCP.

After install AMEX Simulator, I cannot startup it show an error (Failed to load control ‘CommonDialog’ from COMDLG32.OCX)

Refer: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/failed-load-control-commondialog-comdlg32ocx

It might be missing registry, I run the below command
regsvr32 \windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX,

It was wrong, the location is in windows\SysWow64\COMDLG32.OCX for windows 10.

But I fail to do the registry too, showing error (DLLRegisterserver failed with error code 0x8002801)
i found that this registry is used by Amex Simulator 2001, but I m installing simulator version 2010.

I copy the file from my local PC and upload to VM. Wanna replace the file, but it cannot be delete as it is using by other application.

I terminate the application regsvr32.exe in task manager, and I did unregistry via
regsvr32 /u \windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX

And copy my Local File to this directory, and did a registry command again Then I was able to startup Amex Simulator
