MFC: Visual Studio 2019 says The ActiveX control could not be instantiated?

Question

I've never dealt with ActiveX controls but I wanted to add one to an an existing MFC project using VS2019. I created a dialog in the resource editor, I added the ActiveX control I wanted to play with (RDP - tried different versions), resized it. Then closed the tab, when I try to open that dialog in the resource editor I get:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The ActiveX control "Microsoft RDP Client Control (redistributable) - version 11" could not be instantiated.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Also, what is the difference between the ones that say (redistributable) vs the ones that don't have that?

TIA!!

P.S. After that error above, if I try to open again I get:

An error occurred while initializing the frame's content
