Windows and other Microsoft applications use .Cab files as containers for ActiveX and other important installation files - particularly for Web-based or Internet related components and setup routines. In many cases, Windows can extract and install Active X .Cab files directly from Internet Explorer. However, if you download a .Cab file and want to install it manually, you must expand it before you can do so.
Locate the CAB file on your hard drive and note its file path location (i.e. C:downloadssomefile.cab.)'
Press 'Windows-E' to launch File Explorer. Browse to the folder where you want to save the extracted .Cab file's contents. Right-click inside the folder window, click 'New' and then select 'New Folder.' Rename the new subfolder to the name of the .Cab file or Active X component.
Press 'Window-X,' and then click 'Command Prompt (Admin)' on the pop-up list.
Type the following command at the command prompt (without the quotes):
'expand C:downloadssomefile.cab c:main_foldersub_folder_name'
Change 'C:downloadssomefile.cab' and 'c:main_foldersub_folder_name' to the appropriate source file and destination folder as needed.
Press the 'Enter' key and wait a few seconds for Windows to expand the contents of the .Cab file into the destination folder you created.
Press 'Windows-E' to open a new File Explorer window. Browse to the new folder you created. Double-click the 'install.exe' or 'setup.exe' file in the new folder containing the files for the ActiveX control or component.
Follow the on-screen prompts to install the ActiveX control. The installer will use the collection of files stored in the temporary folder to install it. At the end of the process, click the 'Finish' button on the installation utility.
Delete the new folder you created, as you no longer need it after installing the Active X control.
Warnings
Not all ActiveX controls are created and distributed by Microsoft; many are created by third-party publishers. Only install ActiveX files from publishers you trust.

In Internet Explorer, you may have a problem when you try to install an application and receive a Windows has blocked this software because it can’t verify the publisher error message. This can happen on Java and ActiveX controls that load on a web page. To try to fix this problem, perform the following steps.
Option 1 – By Single Site (secure)
- In Internet Explorer, click “Tools” (gear) > “Internet Options“.
- Select the “Security” tab.
- In the “Select a zone to view or change security settings“, select “Trusted sites“.
- Move the “Security level for this zone slider” down to “Low“, then click “Apply“.
- Click the “Sites” button.
- Type the URL to the website the software is hosted on in the “Add this website to the zone” field and click “Add“. If the website doesn’t have an HTTPS URL, uncheck the “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone” box, then add it to the box. Click “Close” when finished.
- Click “OK” on the Internet Options screen.
- Close Internet Explorer and try to load the web page again. I’m hoping you have success loading the software this time.
Option 2 – Multiple Sites (less secure)

- “Download unsigned ActiveX Control” = “Prompt”
- “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not mark as safe” = “Prompt”
- “Run ActiveX and plug-ins” = “Enable”
- “Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting” = “Enable”
- Click “OK“, then “OK” again.
- Restart the browser. The message should no longer appear.
You can also access these settings using the Group Policy Editor under “User Configuration” > “Administrative Templates” > “Windows Components” > “Internet Explorer” > “Internet Control Panel” > “Security Page” > “Internet Zone“.

Overview of Webrec.ocx
What Is Webrec.ocx?
Webrec.ocx is a type of OCX file associated with SurveillanceCtrl ActiveX Control Module developed by Windows Software Developer for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Webrec.ocx is 2.1.7.31, which was produced for Windows 7. This OCX file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'.
What Are OCX Files?
OCX files, such as webrec.ocx, are COM (Component Object Model) interface technologies often referred to as an ActiveX control. ActiveX controls are tiny programs, sometimes called 'add-ons', that are used on websites and in software applications.
ActiveX controls are often encountered when using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. If you open a web page embedded with a video in the Window Media (.WMV) file format, your web browser uses a built-in ActiveX control that allows you to view the video directly on the web page, rather than having to load that file separately in Windows Media Player.
Why Do I Have OCX Errors?
OCX / ActiveX / webrec.ocx errors generally occur because your web browser or program (eg. SurveillanceCtrl ActiveX Control Module) attempts to load a corrupt or missing ActiveX control. Also, these problems may occur if some ActiveX-related subkeys are missing from the Windows registry.
When Do OCX Errors Occur?
OCX errors, such as those associated with webrec.ocx, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. printing).
Common Webrec.ocx Error Messages
Most webrec.ocx errors are related to missing or corrupt webrec.ocx files. The nine most common webrec.ocx errors that can appear on a Windows-based computer are:
- 'Component 'Webrec.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.'
- 'Webrec.ocx failed to register. The specified module could not be found.'
- 'Webrec.ocx not found.'
- 'Cannot find Webrec.ocx.'
- 'The file webrec.ocx is missing.'
- 'Runtime Error 339: webrec.ocx not correctly registered.'
- 'Missing or broken reference to the file webrec.ocx.'
- 'The Module 'webrec.ocx' Failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found.'
- 'One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either: 1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls. As a result, the page may not display correctly.'
- 'This program requires webrec.ocx, which is no longer included.'
These OCX error messages can appear during program installation, while a webrec.ocx-related software program (eg. SurveillanceCtrl ActiveX Control Module) is running, during Windows startup or shutdown, or even during the installation of the Windows operating system. Keeping track of when and where your webrec.ocx error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.
