Issues that the hotfix package fixes

List of issues that are fixed

This hotfix fixes the following issues:

•	954540 (/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=954540/) The changes in the TOC and PageRef fields do not appear when you compare Word 2007 documents
•	954541 (/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=954541/) The Ref field is updated incorrectly when you print a Word 2007 document

This hotfix fixes the following issues that are not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

•	When you compare and merge documents that are written in Chinese characters or in Japanese characters in Word 2007, the text that is marked as deleted and inserted is much larger than the text that is actually changed. For example, if you delete only one character or one word, a large chunk of text around this character or word is marked as deleted. Additionally, the chunk of text is marked as reinserted, except for the character or for the word that is actually deleted. Note The issue occurs for both character-level comparison and word-level comparison. However, this issue does not occur if you delete the word or the character at the end of the sentence.
•	Consider the following scenario. You create and then save a new document from a template on a trusted network share. This template contains Microsoft Visual Basic for Application (VBA) code. Then, you open the document again. In this scenario, you cannot save the document again. Additionally, you receive the following error message: The save failed due to out of memory or disk space.
•	Consider the following scenario. You create and then save a document that contains a table. You delete one row, and you modify the content in the following row. Then, you save the document as a different name. In this scenario, if you compare the revised document to the original document, the result is incorrect.
•	Consider the following scenario. You create a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document, and you apply a new style such as Style1 to some paragraphs that have outline numbering enabled. Then, you change the number format of Style1. To change this number format, you add text before the number in that document. In this scenario, when you use the Compare Documents functionality to compare the revised document to the original document, the comparison document shows the formatting as the formatting in the original document. However, the comparison document should show the formatting as the formatting in the revised document.
•	You create a document that is based on a template that has customized Ribbons. When you open the document, Word 2007 may not display the Ribbon customizations. This issue can occur if the following conditions are true: • The template uses the editing restriction, Filling in forms. Note This issue does not occur if the template is unprotected or if the template uses one of the following editing restrictions: • Comments • No changes (Read only) • Tracked changes • The document is saved in one of the following file formats: • Word 2003 XML Document (*.xml) • Word XML Document (*.xml) • Word Document (*.docx) • Word Macro-Enabled Document (*.docm) Note This issue does not occur if the document is saved in a rich text format (RTF) or in a binary document file format. However, the template is still correctly loaded as a base template.
•	When you add one or more letters at the beginning or at the end of a word, a word-level comparison only marks the inserted letters as an insertion, as if the inserted characters are a separate word. The expected behavior is that the original word should be marked as deleted, and the new word should be marked as an insertion.
•	If you click to clear the White space check box in the Compare Documents dialog box, the closing paragraph mark of an insertion is ignored. The expected behavior is that the closing paragraph mark should be displayed as part of the insertion, and the closing paragraph mark should not be ignored.
•	When you insert or delete a text box in the revised document, and then you compare this document to the original document, there is a revision bar next to the border of the text box. However, there is no revision markup in the text box.
•	If two plain text content controls are grouped, you may experience the following issues when you run the Spelling and Grammar check: • The last word in the first content control is selected together with part of the first word of the second content control. This behavior occurs when the following conditions are true: • There is no space after the last word in the first content control. • The last word of the first content control is proofed in the Spelling and Grammar dialog box. This issue occurs whether the last word of the first content control is spelled correctly. • After the last word of the first content control is proofed, the Spelling and Grammar check is complete. However, misspelled words are not checked in the second content control.

When you compile a Visual C++ project on a computer that has Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed, you receive error messages that resemble the following:

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

• You use a function that contains the try-catch block.
• The project does not contain a brace for the function body.

This problem occurs because the compiler assumes the try-catch block can only be associated with constructors.

To work around this issue, use the <SkipRearm> setting in an XML answer file (Unattend.xml) to skip the Rearm process when you build the Windows Vista image.

The following text is an example of an XML answer file:

<settings pass=generalize>        <component name=Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC processorArchitecture=x86 publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 language=neutral versionScope=nonSxS xmlns:wcm=http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>            <SkipRearm>1</SkipRearm>        </component>    </settings>

Note You must make sure that the <SkipRearm> setting is removed from the final unattended file that is used to deploy computers in a production environment.If <SkipRearm> is not removed from the unattended file that is used to deploy computers in a production environment, the KMS current client count does not increase for new clients that are added to the network.

The Windows Software Licensing Rearm program restores the Windows system to the original licensing state. All licensing and registry data related to activation is either removed or reset. Also, any grace period timers are reset.

To run the Rearm process in Windows Vista, use one of the following methods:

•	Run Sysprep /generalizeon the computers that are used to build the custom Windows Vista image.
•	Run the Slmgr.vbs script in an elevated Command Prompt window. For example, run cscript c: windows system32 slmgr.vbs –rearm.

Note Administrative credentials are required to run the Rearm process. The Rearm process can be run a maximum of three times in a Windows Vista image. For more information about the System Preparation Tool, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

This article describes a hotfix that provides the IntelliSense flavor for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 JavaScript files. This flavor is an addition to the existing JavaScript file flavors, which are the Release flavor and the Debug flavor.

When you open IntelliSense-friendly JavaScript files, some semantic code changes are required. For example, dynamically declared functions must be de-normalized into statically declared functions. After you add the new flavor, you can modify semantic code for IntelliSense. The IntelliSense flavor works as an IntelliSense helper file. However, this flavor does not make any statements about the core code. Additionally, this flavor is not intended for running or debugging.

Visual Studio 2008 and ASP.NET 3.5 provide optimizations that let you reference runtime-optimized JavaScript files by using one of the following methods:

• Script Manager
• XML Comments
• HTML Script Tag

You have a Microsoft Visual FoxPro (VFP) table you are accessing from Microsoft Visual Basic .NET via the VFP OLE DB Provider. You wish to locate a particular value in a column, or the nearest match.

Back to the top

The VFP SET NEAR command controls what happens to the record pointer in a VFP table after an unsuccessful SEEK (or FIND) operation (SEEK uses an index on a VFP column to locate a value). When NEAR is on, the record pointer in the VFP table is positioned at the closest matching record after an unsuccessful SEEK.

The following VB .NET code demonstrates how to SEEK a record or the closest match thereto via the VFP OLE DB Provider.  To use this code…

1. Create a sample VFP table and index using the following VFP code:

    CLOSE DATA ALL 
    DELETE FILE C: CUSTS.DBF RECYCLE
    DELETE FILE C: CUSTS.CDX RECYCLE
    CREATE TABLE C: CUSTS (NAMES VarChar(30))
    INDEX ON UPPER(NAMES) TAG NAMES
    INSERT INTO CUSTS VALUES(‘FRED’)
    INSERT INTO CUSTS VALUES(‘JOHN’)
    INSERT INTO CUSTS VALUES(‘MARY’)
    CLOSE DATA ALL

2. Create a new Visual Studio VB .NET Windows application. Drop a TextBox, a CheckBox and a Button on the form.
3. Double-click the form surface to open the code editor (form1.vb) and then paste the code below into it, replacing the current contents.

The code does the following…

 - Sets near ON / OFF depending on the state of the CheckBox on the VB form (checked = ON).
 - Opens the free VFP table (C: CUSTS) and SEEKs the customer name.
 - In the VFP OLE DB Provider, creates a cursor to be returned to the .NET session.
 - Populates the return cursor with the values of FOUND(), RECNO(‘CUSTS’) and RECCOUNT(‘CUSTS’).
 - Uses the VFP SETRESULTSET() function to return the VFP cursor to .NET.
 - VB .NET uses a OleDbDataReader object to read the returned cursor and display the results of the SEEK in a MSGBOX.

**NOTES**

 - When the VFP SEEK finds an exact match, FOUND() (first column in the result set) is True. Other columns can be ignored.
 - When the VFP SEEK *does not* find an exact match and NEAR is ON, FOUND() (first column in the result set) is False and RECNO() (2nd column in result set) will either be a valid number or will be RECCOUNT() (3rd column in result set) +1 (indicating EOF in the VFP table).
 - When the VFP SEEK *does not* find an exact match and NEAR is OFF, FOUND() will be .F., RECNO() will be RECCOUNT() + 1.
 - Third column in result set is constant: RECCOUNT(‘CUSTS’). Use this to determine if you are on the nearest record when NEAR is on (i.e, column 2 is *not* column 3 +1).

The question has been asked: Is there a 64-bit version of Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008?

Back to the top

No.  Unfortunately, we do not have a 64-bit version of Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.  However we do support development and debugging of 64-bit application.  See below for more information:

With the introduction of the Visual Studio 2005, we are able to built applications for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. The major advantage with the managed applications is that you do not need a separate version for each architecture as the Framework compiles that assembly to run on architecture of the operating system.

There is a requirement for building 64-bit managed assemblies and that is that all components utilized by the managed assembly must be capable of running on the 64-bit system.  For example, if an assembly need to call into a 32-bit COM component, that assembly must be compiled to target x86 CPU so that it runs under the WOW64 layer.

Visual Studio Development Environment 64-Bit Support:

 2008 – http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241066.aspx (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241066.aspx)

Debugging of your 64-bit application is also possible from Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008:

Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft doing to provide guidance about how to deploy these updates?

We encourage system administrators to join the monthly technical Webcast to learn more about security updates. The Webcast for this security update airs on May 14, 2008 at 11:00 A.M. (Pacific Time). To register, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

What other information should I know about MBSA?

For more information about the programs that MBSA currently supports, visit the following Microsoft TechNet Web page:

Can I use SMS or System Center Configuration Manager to determine whether the updates are required?

Yes. SMS helps detect and deploy these security updates. SMS 2.0 together with the SUS Feature Pack and SMS 2003 together with SUSFP use MBSA version 1.2.1 technology for detection. Therefore, SMS 2.0 together with the SUS Feature Pack and SMS 2003 together with the SUS Feature Pack have limitations that resemble the limitations of MBSA version 1.2.1.

For more information about SMS, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

The SUS Feature Pack together with the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool is required to detect all the security updates on Microsoft Windows and on other affected Microsoft products.

For more information about the limitations of the SUS Feature Pack, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

SMS 2.0 together with the SUS Feature Pack and SMS 2003 together with the SUS Feature Pack also use the Microsoft Office Inventory Tool to detect the required security updates for Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word.

SMS 2003 customers can also use ITMU to detect and to deploy security updates. ITMU uses technology from Microsoft Updates. For more information about ITMU, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

System Center Configuration Manager 2007 uses WSUS 3.0 for detection and deployment of these security updates. Therefore, anything that is supported by WSUS 3.0 is also supported by System Center Configuration Manager 2007.

In the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Designer for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, you can use Microsoft IntelliSense for Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). However, IntelliSense for XAML may stop working after you install the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) or Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). When this problem occurs, the (Default) registry value in one of the following registry keys is empty:

• On an x86-based computer:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT CLSID {73B7DC00-F498-4ABD-AB79-D07AFD52F395} InProcServer32
• On an x64-based computer:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Wow6432Node CLSID {73B7DC00-F498-4ABD-AB79-D07AFD52F395} InProcServer32

This problem occurs because the (Default) registry value in the InProcServer32 registry key is reset incorrectly after you install Document Explorer.

A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft. However, it is intended to correct only the problem that this article describes. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing this specific problem.

Create a VC++ console-based application that links statically with MFC and execute it on the Windows Server 2000 (or earlier) operating system.

Back to the top

You get a fatal error message:
The procedure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll

Back to the top

The getaddrinfo (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520.aspx) function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP and later.

Back to the top

To execute an application using this function on earlier versions of Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95), then it is mandatary to #include Ws2tcpip.h and also Wspiapi.h. When the Wspiapi.h header file is included, the ‘getaddrinfo’ function is #defined to the ‘WspiapiGetAddrInfo’ inline function in Wspiapi.h. At runtime, the ‘WspiapiGetAddrInfo’ function is implemented in such a way that if the Ws2_32.dll or the Wship6.dll (the file containing getaddrinfo in the IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000) does not include ‘getaddrinfo’, then a version of ‘getaddrinfo’ is implemented inline based on code in the Wspiapi.h header file. This inline code will be used on older Windows platforms that do not natively support the ‘getaddrinfo’ function.

Note: This article applies to the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack

1.	Create a MFC Document/View application.
2.	Under Application Type, select the Project style as “Office”.
3.	Select Use of MFC as “static library”, Click Next.
4.	Under Generated Classes, select the CFormView as base class for application view.
5.	Click Finish.
6.	A message will appear saying “No printing support will be available for CFormView”. Click Yes.
7.	Build and Run your application.

The application shows a debug assertion on f: dd vctools vc7libs ship atlmfc src mfc afxribbonbar.cpp, Line: 3891

The following function shows the assertion:

CMFCRibbonCategory* CMFCRibbonBar::AddPrintPreviewCategory()
{
        …
    // This line shows the assertion
    ENSURE(str1.LoadString(AFX_IDS_ONEPAGE));

        …
}

During the initialization of ribbon bar control, the application calls SetQuickAccessDefaultState() to set the Quick Access Toolbar. Inside this function, the ribbon bar tries to recalculate its layout by calling RecalcLayout() function. This function internally checks if printing is supported by the class, then it adds it to the Print Preview Category. While adding it to this category, the application tries to load a printing string resource with ID AFX_IDS_ONEPAGE. Since this resource ID is not part of the application instance, loading it shows an debug assertion.

Disable the Print Preview for Ribbon Bar. This can be done using CMFCRibbonBar::EnablePrintPreview function.

This is a know bug with the wizard-generated code. CFormView classes do not have printing support. After creating the project, the wizard does prompt the message “No printing support will be available for CFormView”, but it fails to generate correct code for ribbon bar for disabling the printing.

Making the following change allows it to work.

void CMainFrame::InitializeRibbon()

{

            …

            // Disable the Print Preview for Ribbon Bar

            m_wndRibbonBar.EnablePrintPreview(FALSE);

            m_wndRibbonBar.SetQuickAccessCommands(lstQATCmds);

            …

}

As the application links statically to MFC, the ID will not be available in the application instance. All standard MFC resources are selectively built or not built into your module, based on wizard selections. For dynamic link they are always part of the MFC80[u][d].dll.

Introduction

A hotfix rollup is available for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Designer.

This hotfix rollup fixes several issues in the WPF Designer. This hotfix rollup applies only to the computer that has Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 installed.

• When a resource in an external resource dictionary is updated, Visual Studio 2008 crashes.
• WPF Designer cannot load read-only attached properties, such as the VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups property.
• If users or codes set a data binding locally, and then the users or codes clear the data binding, WPF designer reports the following error message:
  ‘System.Windows.Data.Binding’ is not a valid value for property
• If a Win32 project is set as the startup project, WPF Designer cannot load solutions in Visual Studio 2008 or in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1.
• When you set and then delete the Source property of a WPF WebBrowser control, Visual Studio crashes.
• When you move a control that uses the MultiTrigger class or the DataTrigger class in the Style class, WPF Designer may generate an InvalidCastException exception.
