Using Microsoft Forms 2.0 ActiveX in Citect 2018R2 under Win11

I'm having an issue getting Citect to recognize Microsoft Forms 2.0 ActiveX (FM20.DLL). I also had issues with this under Win10, but under Win11 it seems whatever I do is not helping. An application we have for cargo monitoring and pump and valve control on chemical tankers rely on the Image Control from this active x to display color for the cargo types in the various tanks. The colors are sent as RGB codes over Modbus protocol from a corresponding level gauging program. This all works well under Win10.

Part of the problem seems to be the multiple versions available of the FM20.dll. The dll is supposed to be installed under \Windows\System32\ and also under \Windows\Syswow64\ and registered with regsvr32, but either I have the wrong versions at hand/latest version as installed by Office365 just doesn't play with Citect (Ver . I really don't know where to start to get this resolved, nor have I been able to find any other alternative method of displaying the RGB codes as colors in the Citect mimics.

When I try to open the pages in Graphics Builder that contains the ActiveX ,  I get the 2 different error messages:

Any idea on how to resolve this is highly appreciated! 

  

Thank You
