How to Fix TBARCODE11_X64.OCX Errors in 4 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)
If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your TBARCODE11_X64.OCX issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.
Step 1: Use Microsoft Register Server (regsvr) to Manually Register Your TBARCODE11_X64.OCX File
When you install ACD/ChemSketch Freeware, or another software that uses the TBARCODE11_X64.OCX dependency, the software should register the file automatically. Sometimes your OCX file won't get registered properly and will trigger a "TBARCODE11_X64.OCX not registered" error. Thankfully, Microsoft included a handy built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to enable you to manually re-register your TBARCODE11_X64.OCX file.
How to re-register TBARCODE11_X64.OCX from an elevated command prompt (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
- Hit the Windows Start button
- In the search box, type "command" (do not presss ENTER yet)
- While holding CTRL-Shift, hit ENTER.
- You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
- Click Yes.
- Type this command: regsvr32 /u TBARCODE11_X64.OCX
- Hit ENTER. This process will UN-register your file, allowing you to RE-register it.
- Type this command: regsvr32 /i TBARCODE11_X64.OCX
- Hit ENTER. This process will RE-register your file.
- Close the command prompt window.
- Re-start ACD/ChemSketch Freeware.
regsvr32 /u TBARCODE11_X64.OCX
Step 2: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

- In the search results, find and click System Restore.
