About this tag
The hhctrl.ocx file is a Windows system component associated with the Microsoft HTML Help system. In WindowsForum discussions, users report application crashes when this file is missing, particularly in Windows 10 WinPE environments. The error message 'The code execution cannot proceed because hhctrl.ocx was not found' indicates that a program requires this ActiveX control at startup. The related hhctrl.ocx.mui file may also be needed. Troubleshooting focuses on manually adding these files to the WinPE image or ensuring they are present in the system directory to restore functionality for legacy applications that depend on the Windows Help system.
