How to install OCX files to Wine

I am using macOS 10.14.5, and I am trying to run a Windows exe file.  So I did brew install wine.  Then, using wine to run the program yields the following error:
0009:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)
My wine can run some other exe programs. Because of this, I thought I needed to install mscomctl.ocx and comctl32.ocx into wine. I copied the files from my Windows 7 computer to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ and added the corresponding overrides to the "Libraries" tab in winecfg. But I still got the same error. I tried another way of installing the two files.  I did brew install winetricks zenity, and ran sh winetricks dlls.  The GUI appeared, but it did nothing no matter what I clicked.  Also, whenever I clicked anything on the GUI, it outputs to the shell the same message
Gtk-WARNING **: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/bullet-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
So how should I install OCX files to wine? "An OCX file is a Windows ActiveX control file."
