This made the workbook "loose" reference to MSCOMCTL.OCX (quote marks on "loose", because the reference is still ticked but no longer works, the workbook doesn't compile because of "Compile error: Object library feature not supported" or "Automation error") It seems that the update modifies the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-000F8754DA1}\ by adding a SubKey 2.0, but leaves it empty, and doesn't register the new MSCOMCTL.OCX.
