• Microsoft quietly updates all of this month’s Windows patches warning about conflicts with Visual Basic 6, VBA and VBScript

    After installing this update, applications that were made using Visual Basic 6 (VB6), macros using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and scripts or apps using Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) may stop responding and you may receive an “invalid procedure call error.”
