Update redistributable with Newer Windows Common Controls mscomctl.ocx
The built-in Redistributables for the mscomctl.ocx is older than the one we need. We will never want to use the legacy version that comes with InstallShield. InstallShield points to an MSM file, but I'm not sure how to update that.
Are there instructions for updating the built-in redistributables with newer versions? In this case, we have the specific OCX file that we want to use and would like to have IS take care of the specifics of where to install it.
Thanks.

The Microsoft Windows Common Controls merge modules are no longer supported since InstallShield 2013 because these technologies have reached their end-of-life milestone. See Q212461: Removal of Outdated and Obsolete Items in InstallShield 2013 for more information.If you still need to support the component, you may want to consider creating your own InstallShield prerequisite that installs the redistributable file.
Hope that helps.
