Failed to create component 'AxHost'

I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. I simply create a new Windows Application form, now when I move Shockwave Flash Object to my form I received the error Failed to create component 'AxHost'. I also download and install the Visual Basic 2010 and same thing is happening there.I also installed the latest .Net 4.5. What is missing in my PC or in my Project?

I found it's solution. I just rename the file Flash64_16_0_0_305.ocx to Flash32_16_0_0_305.ocx and then run both command in cmd

regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash32_16_0_0_305.ocx  
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash32_16_0_0_305.ocx

and it's works fine.

To resolve this problem you should manualy register Flash ocx component.

To register ocx component you should use Regsvr32 (ms support):

Regsvr32 [/u] [/s] <OCX File Name>

Flash ocx file path is typically:

C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Flash (Windows 95, 98, WinME) C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash (Windows NT, 2000) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash (Windows XP, Vista, 7) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (Vista, 7)

Example:

 regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\flash.ocx
