Compile Error after Windows Update on 11th April 2012.

On the 11th of April, Microsoft released a Window update that causes a Compile Error in Hidden Module when you open Electra.

To fix the error, please follow the instructions listed below:

1. Close Visio and Electra.
2. Look for the following folder:

Window XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms\
Window Vista/7:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Forms\


To browse and open the folder, copy and paste the path above onto your Window Explorer. The "%USERNAME%" will be automatically renamed by Windows to your current username.


3. Delete all files ending with .exd

Backup these files if necessary by renaming them from "MSComDlg.exd" to "MSComDlg_bak.exd". Once these files are deleted, Windows will automatically recreate them when they are needed.


4. Run Visio and Electra, and the error should be fixed.

Thanks for your patience.
