The individual articles contain information about whether the updates may be uninstalled by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.
Known issues with this security update
You install this security update on a computer that has a third-party software solution installed. The software solution is based on Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The software solution creates an instance of the control directly through Microsoft Office. In this scenario, you may experience either of the following problems:
You may receive an error message that resembles the following when you try to run a macro:
Note
Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found.
When this problem occurs, the macro does not run.
You may receive an error message that resembles the following when you try to add one of the updated controls to an Office Visual Basic for Applications form:
Note
Element not found.
When this problem occurs, the control is not added to the form.
Solutions that do not use the control in VBA are not affected by this problem. Compiled Visual Basic 6.0 solutions are not affected. Web-based solutions are not affected. .NET solutions are not affected. Only VBA-based solutions that create an instance of the control directly through Office are affected.
To resolve this issue, install the cumulative update rollup for the Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Runtime Extended Files update. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
957924 Description of the cumulative update rollup for the Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Runtime Extended Files
If you are using Office Visual Basic for Applications, you may also need to delete the cached versions of the control type libraries. To do this, search your hard drive for ".exd," and delete all the .exd files. The .exd files will be re-created automatically using the new controls the next time that you use VBA.
