• Outlook 2007 KB4011086 expired, KB4011110 seems to be the replacement

  See my Computerworld update about MS yanking one bad Tower of Babel Outlook patch, keeping the other, and messing up the instructions.

  Both Outlook 2007 and 2010 security patches for September have been implicated in switching languages — Swedish menus in the Hungarian version, for example. Outlook 2010’s patch has the additional distinction of breaking custom form print function.

  It now seems the Outlook 2007 patch that was causing the problem, KB4011086 has been expired and replaced by Security Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007  KB4011110.

  This update provides defense-in-depth changes to help improve security in Microsoft Outlook 2007. To learn more about these vulnerabilities, see Advisory ADV170015.

  NOTE: Please follow the instructions here to uninstall KB4011086 before installing KB4011110.
  NOTE: There is an error for Windows 7 and Windows Vista in these instructions. The correct patch to uninstall is KB4011086

  The 2017-09 Preview for Monthly Quality Rollup for Win 7 (KB4038803) and Win8.1 (KB4038774) have also been released.

• Remember how this month’s Outlook security patches broke VBScript printing?

  Ends up it was a feature, not a bug.

  Tweet from @JBar3000:

  KB4011089 also breaks archived mail in Outlook 2010. You can only see a portion of the message and the link to see the rest doesn’t work.

• Outlook 2007 and 2010 security patches scramble languages, break printing on custom forms
