Breaking change in ADO update KB983246 (included in Windows 7 Service Pack 1)
- 24 February 2011
Update2: Microsoft fixed the issue in Windows 8 in a way that old programs would work without change. Those who recompiled with the KB983246 version either need to roll out KB983246 to customer computers or switch back to the old type libraries. New programs are encouraged to use the KB983246 version of type library when they no longer need to support computers without KB983246.
