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.

But it doesn't do anything to the empty 2.0 SubKey ! If there is a 2.0 (or 2.1 for that matter) SubKey with nothing in it, any obje
be solved by registering the file MSCOMCTL.OCX again.Go to [Start-run] on the system.If it's a 32 bits machine type the following: regsvr32 C:\windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCXIf it's a 64 https://tatvic.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/145245-automation-error-on-excel-startup bits machine type the following:regsvr32C:\windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCXAfter doing this a notification will come that the file is correctly registered. If this is not the case and you get for instance the following http://www.infoworld.com/article/3027019/microsoft-windows/kb-2881029-3039794-2920727-throw-spurious-vba-office-automation-errors.html notification"MSCOMCTL.OCX' is loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed witherrorcode 0x80004005.", this could be due to security issues on the system.If this is the case make sure the Windows "Dos automation error Prompt / Command Prompt" is opened with "run as administrator". To do this go to [Start-all programs-accessoires] and click with right mouse on the "Command Prompt" and choose to run as administrator.In the Command Prompt screen you can type the line (regsvr32 C:\windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCXfor 32-bit orregsvr32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCXfor 64-bit) and press enter.After the file is correctly registered opening Microsoft Excel will not show excel automation error the notification anymore.
