Do you actually use it? I have Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition (free, equivalent to 2013 Pro version except limit on dev group size) but I am not offered the KB3001652 update despite its page below says it applies to VS 2013; however, Microsoft may have already pulled it from their WSUS server (aka online Windows Updates service). http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3001652 However, the following article only mentions VS 2010 as a requirement: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=44074 Perhaps they have multiple VSTOs concurrently installed much like how multiple .Net Framework versions and multiple Java versions can be concurrently installed for backwards compatibility with older apps that check and demand the present of the older libraries. Since the articles showed up on the 10th and a day later on the 11th the patch has been pulled, here's another good reason why you should never configure the AU (Automatic Updates) service aka WU (Windows Updates) to automatically download and install updates. You shouldn't even configure it to download and prompt because I've seen where just downloading results in Windows doing an unprompted install when you shutdown Windows. AU aka WU should be configured to only check and notify you of updates. Then wait until you get around to saving a backup image of your OS partition before applying updates. I schedule periodic backups every day so after its scheduled backup time I can apply updates; however, I often wait until I can risk stability of the OS before applying updates. |
