#1037 — MS12-027 MSCOMCTL security update

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2641426

https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29326

 Inside the msi file there is mscomctl.cab. This contains mscomctl.ocx 
version 6.1.98.33. I assume this is the file that should now be 
redistributed and not the one in VB60SP6-KB957924-v2-x86-ENU which contains 
mscomctl.ocx version 6.01.98.16.
 More info about in on the podcast https://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm 
episode 348 about 17 minutes in.

Normal practice (as with the security updates to the VB runtimes) is to 
distribute the latest from the service pack and leave the updates to 
Windows Updates.
As long as your installer correctly handles the version number, you 
shouldn't have a problem.

Note!
I have just had this update break Excel 2007 when using the progress  bar.
It would appear to be a combination of the new mscomctl and a recent 
security update for Office 2007.
If you suddenly start getting "object library invalid or contains references 
to object definitions that could not be found", then it could be due to 
this.

The fix is easy, search for *.exd files under C:\documents and 
settings\username\... and delete them.
