Known issues

Assume that you uninstall one of the updates that are installed as part of this update. In this situation, you experience one of the following known issues:

  • If you uninstall update 2495593, the Visual Studio toolbox support for State Machine is removed.

  • If you uninstall update 2600213, the .NET Framework 4.0.3 target framework and reference assemblies are removed. Therefore, IntelliSense and compilations for the .Net Framework 4.0.3 features and for Workflow State Machine Designer are regressed.

Restart requirement

After you apply this update, you do not have to restart the computer unless the files that are being updated are locked or are being used.

However, you have to restart Visual Studio to display the new toolbox buttons if Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is running when you install this update.
