Your question makes no sense. The command to install IE7 is winetricks ie7.
Native comctl32.ocx is not needed. Why are you trying to install it?

We do not support any third party scripts or how-tos.  This one is just plain
wrong.

Install the 32 bit version of Wine.  Then visit our Applications Database where
it will tell you to use winetricks IE7 to install IE7.

EXACTLY WHAT I STATED.  Install the 32 bit version of Wine, not the 64
bit.

No, if you install a 64 bit wine, then you will be running a 64 bit wine, not a
32 bit wine.

Like I said, and I really don't like repeating myself, de-install the 64 bit
wine and install the 32 bit wine.  IE7 will NOT install on 64 bit Wine, not yet.

Is this with the use of winetricks?  Did you try installing IE7 to a clean
wineprefix?  Winetricks should not be asking for a 64 bit version of IE7, if
there is one.

I'll try installing IE7 on my Mac this evening to a clean wineprefix and
report if there are any problems.  Wine on the Mac is compiled to be a 32 bit
application by default.
