Update - 9/26/2012. See this blog post for the latest update. Fixit Available There is a fixit available for this problem: Office 2010 w SP1 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2597986 Office 2007 w SP2 or SP3 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687441 Office 2003 w SP3 or Office 2003 Web Components w SP3 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687323 Steps to fix the problem manually Alternatively, the manual fix for this https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/2012/08/15/unspecified-automation-error-after-applying-ms12-060-updated-926/ problem is to re-register MSCOMCTL.OCX. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Open an administrative-level command prompt. The command prompt MUST be on the administrative level for this to work. Click START, and type RUN in the run command line. On Windows Vista and Windows 7 you will see CMD.EXE appear in the quick searchlist. Right click CMD.EXE and left click Run As Administrator. A black command prompt opens. On Windows XP, there is no built-in run-as-admin, but you can use the run as menu option (or runas command line) to execute an admin command from a Limited User Account. 2. If on a 64-bit machine, type the following: regsvr32.exe /u C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX Hit ENTER then type regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX If on a 32-bit machine, type the following: regsvr32.exe /u C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX hit ENTER then type regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX Your Office program should work again after doing this. (Updated) 3. NOTE: The following step is done at your own risk. Microsoft doesn't know about any side effects to deleting this registry key. In cases where the re-registration doesn't work and you still get the error, you will need to open the registry editor (START > RUN > REGEDIT) and find andDELETE the following registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}\2.0 to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}\2.0OLD We've hear
