We have had a windows update destroy our ability to configure fieldbus devices on our Windows Server 2008 machine, DeltaV explorer hangs when we click on I/O.
Our IT dept connected our server to the Internet for security patches and then forgot to disconnect. Many of the updates that were installed have since removed, however these three (The three .dll update files (msxml4.dll)) cannot be uninstalled and are causing serious issues.
can anyone help?
Removal of Windows Updates should be done through Windows Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > View Installed Updates and removing the specific Microsoft Updates that are not approved. Removing them this way should roll back the changed dll files that they modified. Tested Updates are documented in Knowledgebase Article AK-1300-0005: "Microsoft Released Security Updates for DeltaV Systems" After removing the updates I would suggest running a regall which can be done by: Command Prompt > regall /register > reboot after completion The regall will help DeltaV reregister its necessary DLLs, some of which could have been modified by the Microsoft Updates.
