VB6 Control Security Update causes control to fail (updated)

Hi Will,

we´ve got a lot of incidents coming along with the deployment of MS12-027. Can you tell us, if there´s another way (other than deleting the exd-files) to prevent this issue from occuring in the future.

Or is it an unavoidable issue, for an application, when the next version/s of mscomctl.ocx is published? Maybe it´s sufficient to compile the VBA solution/s, that is/are dealing with the corresponding ActiveX controls before their execution?

best regards

Hello,

We have numerous users reporting that Word 2007 templates which use MSCOMCTL.OCX stored on a network had stopped working after applying MS12-027 update. However the provided solution doesn´t work for us. Is there any other way around it, or do we have to wait for an update to MS12-027?

Thanks

Michal

Thanks Will. Very useful.

One thing to change though is to put the path within double quotes.

on xp, this one didn't work (due to blank spaces):

del %appdata%\microsoft\forms\*.exd

but the following worked

del "%appdata%\microsoft\forms\*.exd"
