I want to use MSCOMM control in my MS Excel 2010 VBA. The control shall appear in Tools-> Additional Controls dialog box in VBE of MS Excel 2010.

I am trying to register MSCOMM32.OCX on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. However, as I try to register it using regsvr32 as shown in the command window below, I am getting shown error popup.

enter image description here

What am I missing here? Why is this component not getting registered?

Or this is not the correct way to include MSCOMM control in MS Excel VBA?

I have read following:

But to no avail.
