Per Hooman request I will try my hand at updating this post.
So I downloaded this package, as I am running a new system without VB6 or any of its dependencies (I'm running VS2015 but it does not, for what I am sure are obvious reasons come with any of those files) so off to the internet to find them.
NOTE: I am running Windows 7 64 bit install.
Run the Graphics Viewer and it looks for three things
-
op2_art.bmp This is in the OP2 Game Folder -
op2_art.prt This is in the maps.vol file in the OP2 Game folder, so if you are putting the Graphics viewer in a seperate folder you will have to extract this. -
mscomct2.ocx This is the Microsoft Common Tools VB6 Dependency file that makes you work at getting the Graphics viewer up and running.Where to get it :

Anyways, on to the placement and registering.
Take your new mscomct2.ocx file (its ten years old or more but new to you so just go with it) and if running a 64 bit Windows 7 install place it in "c:\windows\sysWOW64", if running 32bit than "c:\windows\system32"
Next comes registering the dependency in the windows registry system, you get to do this manually buts its fairly straight forward.
Go to
Start, and in the search bar type in cmd but do not press enter. Instead, once its typed in go up to the cmd program it found, right click on it and then left click on
Run As Administrator. If you were to hit enter or just run normally this won't work.
Once the dos window comes up type in "regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\mscomct2.ocx." and hit enter. If using a 32 bit windows type "regsvr32 mscomct2.ocx."
Boom done.
Cue Applause.
