This action is possible, but somewhat against 
the MS' plans, I think.

I can download only installer for new comctl32.dll,
not just this .dll.

After installation, it is impossible to return 
to the old version automatically and I must uncab 
the old one from CD, delete new, delete some 
additional file and so on by hands.

I have tested new Win32Lib/IDE with the new
comctl32.dll on my machine, works well, but
too slowly. And this 'slowly' is blame of new 
comctl32.dll, which has NO 486 or 586 CPU 
instructions, but has just brake for the
smart and smooth motion of new controls 
on 486 & 586 & 686 & 786 CPUs.

And All things become slow with this feature
on my machine.

I like Dos-32 programming, so this feature 
is not a too big problem for me.

And on the new fast machihes, this feature 
is not a problem but just the feature.

Thanks Dan.
