Known Issues

COMException error from WPF Application with .NET Framework 4.7

This release has a known issue when the .NET Framework 4.7 is installed after this update. See: “COMException” error from WPF applications after the .NET Framework 4.7 is installed on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2As a result, this release is only offered on Windows Update on machines that have either .NET Framework 4.7 or the May 2017 Preview of Quality Rollup installed.

This set of changes will be made available on Windows Update to a broader set of Windows versions in August 2017. The known issue will be resolved in that update.
