crystl32.ocx failed to register...

I have an older application that was written by a retired/no longer available developer that was running on a Windows 8.1 64-bit desktop. The PC got a virus so the PC was reinstalled and files were restored for application. The application uses a Access DB.

Now when trying to run the application, I get the following error:

Component 'crystl32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

I have found several items where the following files were needed, so they too were restored but same issue:

cscal32.ocx

tdbg32.ocx

crpe32.dll

implode.dll

stdole32.tlb

I have also tried to install Crystal Reports and Visual Studio, but based on restore, neither of these were installed so files much have come from developer installed application.

Info on file itself:

Crystal Reports OLE Control DLL

ActiveX control

Version: 4.6.37.14

Crystal Reports Professional

Product Version: 4.6.1.0

Size: 183 KB

Date Modified: 1/16/1997

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!!
