Version: 2.1
- Well it looks like the physical file being used is in C: Program Files Microsoft Office root vfs System MSCOMCTL.OCX and is versioned 7.0.52.6282, even though when I look at tools-references in the Access programming interface it says the file is in C: WINDOWS system32 MSCOMCTL.OCX, and I can browse to it from the tools-references Browse dialog.
- Describes a security update for Microsoft Visual Basic Runtime 6.0 that's dated January 12, 2016. This update resolves vulnerabilities in comctl32.ocx and mscomctl.ocx that could allow remote code execution.
- Description: Microsoft Winsock Control DLL: Download MSWINSCK.OCX Download MSWINSCK.zip: MSWINSCK.OCX errors usually occur when multiple programs are sharing the same ocx file. One of these programs is uninstalled and in doing so uninstalls the ocx file associated with the group. If MSWINSCK.OCX is missing the other programs will encounter.
- You can use the Microsoft Register Server (Regsvr32.exe) to register a 32- bit.ocx file manually on a 32-bit operating system. In Visual FoxPro 3.0 and 3.0b, Regsvr32.exe is located in the Vfp Samples Ole directory, and in Visual FoxPro 5.0, Regsvr32.exe is located in the Vfp directory.
- The Microsoft.jscript.dll file is 0.71 MB. The download links are current and no negative feedback has been received by users. It has been downloaded 5227 times since release and it has received 3.7 out of 5 stars.
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Windows common controls. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a website containing specially crafted content designed to exploit the vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such a website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's website. The malicious file could be sent as an email attachment as well, but the attacker would have to convince the user to open the attachment in order to exploit the vulnerability.
This security update is rated Critical for all supported Microsoft software that included the Windows common controls in their default installations. This includes all supported editions of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Office 2010 (except x64-based editions), Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (except Itanium-based editions), Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (except Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, but including Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services), Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft Commerce Server 2002, Microsoft Commerce Server 2007, Microsoft Commerce Server 2009, Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2, Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 Service Pack 1, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0, and Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by disabling the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls and replacing it with a new version that does not contain the vulnerability. For more information about the vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update
Why was this bulletin rereleased on December 11, 2012?
In order to address an issue involving specific digital certificates that were generated by Microsoft without proper timestamp attributes, Microsoft rereleased this bulletin to replace the KB2687323 update with the KB2726929 update for Windows common controls on all affected variants of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. For more information, see Microsoft Security Advisory 2749655.
I already successfully installed the original KB2687323 update. Should I apply the rereleased update package (KB2726929)released on December 11, 2012?
Yes. Although customers who already successfully installed the original update do not need to install the rereleased update to be protected from the vulnerability described in this bulletin, the rereleased update (KB2726929) replaces the original updates (KB2687323) with a higher product version for the applicable software.
Customers with the original update applied will be offered the rereleased update. Customers should apply all updates offered for the version of the software running on their systems.
Does the offer to update a non-vulnerable version of software constitute an issue in the Microsoft update mechanism?
No. The update mechanism is functioning correctly in that it detects a product version for the applicable software on the system that is within the range of product versions that the update applies to and thus, offers the update.
There are both GDR and QFE updates offered for SQL Server 2000. How do I know which update to use?
First, determine your SQL Server version number. For more information on determining your SQL Server version number, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 321185.
Second, in the table below, locate the version range that your SQL Server version number falls within. The corresponding update is the update you need to install.
Note If your SQL Server version number does not fall within any of the ranges in the table below, your SQL Server version is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest Service Pack or SQL Server product in order to apply this and future security updates.
For SQL Server 2000:
| **8.0.2039.0 - 8.0.2065.0** | **8.0.2100.0 - 8.0.2304.0** |
| SQL Server Update | |
|---|---|
| Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 GDR (KB983812) | Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 QFE (KB983811) |
Which components of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Office 2010 require updating to mitigate the vulnerability addressed in this bulletin?
Because the affected binary is a shared component across multiple Microsoft Office products, the update is applicable to your installation of Microsoft Office if Microsoft Update detects that the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls is present in your installation. The update targets specific versions of Microsoft Office, not specific Microsoft Office components.
I am a third-party application developer and I use the ActiveX control in my application. Is my application vulnerable and how do I update it?
Developers who redistribute the ActiveX control should ensure that they update the version of the ActiveX control installed with their application by downloading the update provided in this bulletin. For more information on best practices on redistributed component use, please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 835322 and Isolated Applications and Side-by-side Assemblies.
I am developing software that contains the redistributable ActiveX control. What do I do?
You should install the security update included in this security bulletin for your development software. If you have redistributed ActiveX control with your application, you should issue an updated version of your application to your customers with the updated version of this file included in the download of this security update for your development software.
Where are the file information details?
Refer to the reference tables in the Security Update Deployment section for the location of the file information details.
I am using an older release of the software discussed in this security bulletin. What should I do?
The affected software listed in this bulletin have been tested to determine which releases are affected. Other releases are past their support life cycle. For more information about the product lifecycle, visit the Microsoft Support Lifecycle website.
It should be a priority for customers who have older releases of the software to migrate to supported releases to prevent potential exposure to vulnerabilities. To determine the support lifecycle for your software release, see Select a Product for Lifecycle Information. For more information about service packs for these software releases, see Service Pack Lifecycle Support Policy.
Customers who require custom support for older software must contact their Microsoft account team representative, their Technical Account Manager, or the appropriate Microsoft partner representative for custom support options. Customers without an Alliance, Premier, or Authorized Contract can contact their local Microsoft sales office. For contact information, visit the Microsoft Worldwide Information website, select the country in the Contact Information list, and then click Go to see a list of telephone numbers.

MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1856
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows common controls. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted document or webpage. When a user opens the document or views the webpage, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.
To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-1856.
Mitigating Factors for MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1856
Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation:
- In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that contains a webpage that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's website.
- The malicious file could be sent as an email attachment, but the attacker would have to convince the user to open the attachment in order to exploit the vulnerability.
- An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
- By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode mitigates this vulnerability. See the FAQ section of this security update for more information about Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.
Workarounds for MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1856
Workaround refers to a setting or configuration change that does not correct the underlying vulnerability but would help block known attack vectors before you apply the update. Microsoft has tested the following workarounds and states in the discussion whether a workaround reduces functionality:
Do not open Microsoft Office and WordPad documents from untrusted sources
Do not open Microsoft Office or Rich Text Format (.rtf) files that you receive from untrusted sources or that you receive unexpectedly from trusted sources. This vulnerability could be exploited when a user opens a specially crafted file.
Prevent the vulnerable ActiveX control from being run in Internet Explorer
You can disable attempts to instantiate the TabStrip ActiveX control in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the control in the registry.
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For detailed steps that you can use to prevent a control from running in Internet Explorer, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797. Follow the steps in the article to create a Compatibility Flags value in the registry to prevent a COM object from being instantiated in Internet Explorer.
To set the kill bit for the TabStrip ActiveX control in the registry, follow these steps:
Create a text file named Disable_TabStrip.reg with the following contents:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerActiveX Compatibility{1EFB6596-857C-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628}]'Compatibility Flags'=dword:00000400[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftInternet ExplorerActiveX Compatibility{1EFB6596-857C-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628}]'Compatibility Flags'=dword:00000400Double-click the .reg file to apply it to an individual system.
Note You must restart Internet Explorer for your changes to take effect.You can also apply it across domains by using Group Policy. For more information about Group Policy, see the TechNet article, Group Policy collection.
Prevent ActiveX controls from running in Office 2007 and Office 2010
To disable ActiveX controls in Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2010, perform the following steps:
- Click File, click Options, click Trust Center, and then click Trust Center Settings.
- Click ActiveX Settings in the left-hand pane, and then select Disable all controls without notifications.
- Click OK to save your settings.
Impact of workaround. Office documents that use embedded ActiveX controls may not display as intended.
How to undo the workaround.
To re-enable ActiveX controls in Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2010, perform the following steps:
- Click File, click Options, click Trust Center, and then click Trust Center Settings.
- Click ActiveX Settings in the left-hand pane, and then deselect Disable all controls without notifications.
- Click OK to save your settings.
Set Internet and Local intranet security zone settings to 'High' to block ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting in these zones
You can help protect against exploitation of this vulnerability by changing your settings for the Internet security zone to block ActiveX controls and Active Scripting. You can do this by setting your browser security to High.
To raise the browsing security level in Internet Explorer, perform the following steps:
- On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
- In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab, and then click the Internet icon.
- Under Security level for this zone, move the slider to High. This sets the security level for all websites you visit to High.
Note If no slider is visible, click Default Level, and then move the slider to High.
Note Setting the level to High may cause some websites to work incorrectly. If you have difficulty using a website after you change this setting, and you are sure the site is safe to use, you can add that site to your list of trusted sites. This will allow the site to work correctly even with the security setting set to High.
Impact of workaround. There are side effects to blocking ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting. Many websites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use ActiveX or Active Scripting to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use ActiveX Controls to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Blocking ActiveX Controls or Active Scripting is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. If you do not want to block ActiveX Controls or Active Scripting for such sites, use the steps outlined in 'Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone'.
Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone
After you set Internet Explorer to block ActiveX controls and Active Scripting in the Internet zone and in the Local intranet zone, you can add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. This will allow you to continue to use trusted websites exactly as you do today, while helping to protect yourself from this attack on untrusted sites. We recommend that you add only sites that you trust to the Trusted sites zone.
To do this, perform the following steps:
- In Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
- In the Select a web content zone to specify its current security settings box, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
- If you want to add sites that do not require an encrypted channel, click to clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
- In the Add this website to the zone box, type the URL of a site that you trust, and then click Add.
- Repeat these steps for each site that you want to add to the zone.
- Click OK two times to accept the changes and return to Internet Explorer.
Note Add any sites that you trust not to take malicious action on your system. Two in particular that you may want to add are *.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and *.update.microsoft.com. These are the sites that will host the update, and it requires an ActiveX Control to install the update.
Configure Internet Explorer to prompt before running Active Scripting or to disable Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet security zone
You can help protect against exploitation of this vulnerability by changing your settings to prompt before running Active Scripting or to disable Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet security zone. To do this, perform the following steps:
- In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
- Click the Security tab.
- Click Internet, and then click Custom Level.
- Under Settings, in the Scripting section, under Active Scripting, click Prompt or Disable, and then click OK.
- Click Local intranet, and then click Custom Level.
- Under Settings, in the Scripting section, under Active Scripting, click Prompt or Disable, and then click OK.
- Click OK two times to return to Internet Explorer.
Note Disabling Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet security zones may cause some websites to work incorrectly. If you have difficulty using a website after you change this setting, and you are sure the site is safe to use, you can add that site to your list of trusted sites. This will allow the site to work correctly.
Impact of workaround. There are side effects to prompting before running Active Scripting. Many websites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use Active Scripting to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use Active Scripting to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Prompting before running Active Scripting is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. You will be prompted frequently when you enable this workaround. For each prompt, if you feel you trust the site that you are visiting, click Yes to run Active Scripting. If you do not want to be prompted for all these sites, use the steps outlined in 'Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone'.
Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone
After you set Internet Explorer to require a prompt before it runs ActiveX controls and Active Scripting in the Internet zone and in the Local intranet zone, you can add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. This will allow you to continue to use trusted websites exactly as you do today, while helping to protect you from this attack on untrusted sites. We recommend that you add only sites that you trust to the Trusted sites zone.
To do this, perform the following steps:
- In Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
- In the Select a web content zone to specify its current security settings box, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
- If you want to add sites that do not require an encrypted channel, click to clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
- In the Add this website to the zone box, type the URL of a site that you trust, and then click Add.
- Repeat these steps for each site that you want to add to the zone.
- Click OK two times to accept the changes and return to Internet Explorer.
Note Add any sites that you trust not to take malicious action on your system. Two in particular that you may want to add are *.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and *.update.microsoft.com. These are the sites that will host the update, and it requires an ActiveX Control to install the update.
Use Microsoft Office File Block policy to block the opening of RTF documents from unknown or untrusted sources and locations
Microsoft Office File Block policy can be used to block specific file format types from opening in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint.
For Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007
The following registry scripts can be saved in registry entry (.reg) files and used to set the File Block policy. For more information on how to use registry scripts, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 310516.
Note In order to use 'FileOpenBlock' with Microsoft Office 2003, all of the latest security updates for Microsoft Office 2003 must be applied. In order to use 'FileOpenBlock' with Microsoft Office 2007, all of the latest security updates for Office 2007 must be applied.
| Microsoft Office Software | Registry Script |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Office 2003 | Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice11.0WordSecurityFileOpenBlock] 'RtfFiles'=dword:00000001 |
| Microsoft Office 2007 | Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice12.0WordSecurityFileOpenBlock] 'RtfFiles'=dword:00000001 |
For Microsoft Office 2010
- Open Word 2010 and follow the steps below:
- Click the File tab.
- Under Help, click Options.
- Click Trust Center, and then click Trust Center Settings.
- In the Trust Center, click File Block Settings.
- Ensure that the Open checkbox is selected for the following file types:
- RTF Files
- Under Open behavior for selected file types, select Do not open selected file types or select Open selected file types in Protected View. Either choice will block the attack vector to the vulnerable code.
- Click OK to apply the File Block Settings.
Alternatively, file block can be applied using Group Policy. For more information, see the TechNet article, Plan file block settings for Office 2010.
Impact of workaround. For Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007, users who have configured the File Block policy and have not configured a special exempt directory or have not moved files to a trusted location will be unable to open Office 2003 files or earlier versions. For Microsoft Office 2010, Office 2003 files or earlier versions will either be blocked from opening or will be opened in protected mode depending on the open behavior that was selected. For more information about the impact of file block setting in Microsoft Office software, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 922850.
How to undo the workaround.
For Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007, use the following registry scripts to undo the settings used to set the File Block policy:
| Microsoft Office Software | Registry Script |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Office 2003 | Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice11.0WordSecurityFileOpenBlock] 'RtfFiles'=dword:00000000 |
| Microsoft Office 2007 | Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice12.0WordSecurityFileOpenBlock] 'RtfFiles'=dword:00000000 |
For Microsoft Office 2010, open Microsoft Excel 2010 and perform the following steps:
Click the File tab.

FAQ for MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-1856
What is the scope of the vulnerability?
This is a remote code execution vulnerability.
What causes the vulnerability?
The vulnerability is caused when an ActiveX control corrupts the system state in such a way as to allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
What are the Windows common controls?
Windows Common Controls are ActiveX controls contained in the MSCOMCTL.OCX file. The vulnerable ActiveX control is TabStrip Control.
What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
In an e-mail attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted document to the user and convincing the user to open the document.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. This can include compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. Such websites could contain specially crafted content designed to exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger request that takes them to the attacker's website. Then, specially crafted web content could be used to exploit the vulnerability on affected systems.
What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
Workstations and terminal servers are primarily at risk. Servers could be at more risk if administrators allow users to log on to servers and to run programs. However, best practices strongly discourage allowing this.
I am running Internet Explorer for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2. Does this mitigate this vulnerability?
Yes. By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. Enhanced Security Configuration is a group of preconfigured settings in Internet Explorer that can reduce the likelihood of a user or administrator downloading and running specially crafted web content on a server. This is a mitigating factor for websites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone.
I am running SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008, which patches apply to my environment?
By default, supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 default installations include the Windows common controls. Microsoft Update will automatically detect and deploy the Windows common controls packages to these supported versions of Microsoft SQL server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
Which components of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Office 2010 require updating to mitigate this vulnerability?
Because the affected binary is a shared component across multiple Microsoft Office products, the update is applicable to your installation of Microsoft Office if Microsoft Update detects that the vulnerable version of MSCOMCTL.OCX is present in your installation. The update targets specific versions of Microsoft Office, not specific Microsoft Office components.
What does the update do?
The update addresses the vulnerability by disabling the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls. It does this by setting the kill bit for the following class identifiers hosted in the library files:
1EFB6596-857C-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628
The update also replaces the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls with a new version that does not contain the vulnerability.
What is a kill bit?
A security feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer makes it possible to prevent an ActiveX control from ever being loaded by the Internet Explorer HTML-rendering engine. This is done by making a registry setting and is referred to as setting the kill bit. After the kill bit is set, the control can never be loaded, even when it is fully installed. Setting the kill bit makes sure that even if a vulnerable component is introduced or is re-introduced to a system, it remains inert and harmless.
For more information on kill bits, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797: How to stop an ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer.
When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?
No. Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?
Yes. Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks attempting to exploit the vulnerability. However, when the security bulletin was released, Microsoft had not seen any examples of proof of concept code published.

For SMS 2003, the SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) can be used by SMS to detect security updates that are offered by Microsoft Update and that are supported by Windows Server Update Services. For more information about the SMS 2003 ITMU, see SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates. For more information about SMS scanning tools, see SMS 2003 Software Update Scanning Tools. See also Downloads for Systems Management Server 2003.
System Center Configuration Manager uses WSUS 3.0 for detection of updates. For more information, see System Center.

Update Compatibility Evaluator and Application Compatibility Toolkit
Updates often write to the same files and registry settings required for your applications to run. This can trigger incompatibilities and increase the time it takes to deploy security updates. You can streamline testing and validating Windows updates against installed applications with the Update Compatibility Evaluator components included with Application Compatibility Toolkit.
The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) contains the necessary tools and documentation to evaluate and mitigate application compatibility issues before deploying Windows Vista, a Windows Update, a Microsoft Security Update, or a new version of Windows Internet Explorer in your environment.
