Install MSCOMCTL.OCX 2.1 on a naked system

How to install programmatically a current version of mscomctl.ocx on a Windows 8.1 system, so that version 2.1 of the type library is registered? Installing the ancient "Common controls" download only installs version 2.0. I think I need the update related to MS12-060, which would be now KB2726929, but this update doesn't install when MS Office is not installed.

A few other questions are related, but they mostly deal with the effects of the updates mentioned above. I'd like to build a system where I can compile VB6 projects that refer to version 2.1 of the mscomctl.ocx type library.
