Good freeware COM/ActiveX Type Library Explorer?

I used to have a dated, but valuable solution to display COM/ActiveX control- and type-library contents (ProgIDs, method names and signatures, enumerations, con开发者_运维百科stants, interfaces/coclasses, etc.) of all such libraries registered on my system.

It provided an Explorer-like overview of everything that was available to ActiveX development/scripting and served as an automatic API documentation tool since official docs for most COM/ActiveX libraries are either missing completely or fragmentary at best.

My recent move to a 64bit Windows rendered the program I had unusable, due to internal dependencies on the 32bit VB6 runtime (comctl32.ocx) that is no longer supported on 64bit Windows.

Does anyone know an alternative that still works?

OleView.exe from Visual Studio tools. It does the most things you described and works great on x64.

There's an open-source, freeware typelib data dumper and the
"Unofficial TypeLib Data Format Specification" at:

I suggest oleviewdotnet. Not a binary; it has to be downloaded and compiled; but still extremely powerful for all that

COMView might be worth a try: http://www.japheth.de/COMView.html But I haven't tested it personally. The web page don't say anything about x64 but as the last version isn't that old (2011) it might work.
