The "old" dll that MS ships with WindowsXP is comctl32.dll version 5.x which is the same as on other Windows versions.
Version 6 is the new version. One of the biggest changes is that this updated dll handles both the user and common controls. Further all controls now include some area in which can be drawn for theming.

Microsoft releases two sets of comctl32 dlls. One of them is meant for backwards compatibility.
Do you have any idea why would that be needed?
