Vba Automation Error Catastrophic Failure
Common Controls 6.0 (Service Pack 6), i.e. MSCOMCTL.OCX which lives in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\ KB2881029 (Security Update for Microsoft Office 2010 32-Bit Edition) (MS16-004), pushed out from Microsoft on the 15/01/2016 (or thereabout), installs a new MSCOMCTL.OCX (version 6.1.98.46 which was "Created" 9/12/2015, but "Accessed" (i.e. installed on the computer) at the time of the update). 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. Fixing the problem requires 3 steps: 1) MSCOMCTL.OCX. needs to be un-registered and re-registered (Start button/search/command/right click command prompt/run as admistirator: c:\Windows\system32>Regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX c:\Windows\system32>Regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX When registering the new MSCOMCTL.OCX (Version 6.1.98.46) via REGSVR32, a new key is added in the Registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-000F8754DA1}\2.2 If there was a SubKey named 2.1 already existing, it enters a re

There is not a problem with the add-ins. Re-installing our add-ins does not solve. The problem is often caused by un-installing a trial version of Excel 2007, a missing service pack or an Office patch that was automatically run by Windows. It is sometimes caused by getting Office pre-installed on the PC when you purchase the PC. Please follow the instructions on our page on how to repair Office to solve.

The below is what I spent my whole day panicking about. I'll write an answer detailing what I saw, what actions followed and what was actually going on. tl;dr: How I thought my IDE works and how it actually works are 2 separate things. There was, actually a bug in my code, but because of how I interpreted what I thought my IDE was telling me, I thought the problem was a much bigger one. And I'm an idiot for still not having implemented version control yet. What I wrote Earlier: So, I am not really a SysAdmin but I am effectively "the IT guy" for my company (we're 12 employees). Sometime between 7pm GMT last night 25/august/2015 and 11am GMT this morning 26/august/2015, all vba macros on every computer (we run Excel 2010 and Excel 2013) starting exhibiting a behaviour whereby publicly declared Variables (which should be available to all subroutines in a given workbook) are only available within the module they were declared.

In addition, our remote desktop server (which is not automatically updated) is exhibiting the same behaviour. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Update: There hasn't been a windows update recently. This is really bad news, because it means that something,
