Stefan, I hope that you can help sort something out that has bothered me ever since the April 27 Adobe system error occurred. That was the one where users trying to start Framemaker, Acrobat, and/or Distiller suddenly experienced this error: "The program can't start because MSVCP140dll is missing from your computer." There was a huge flurry of posts to adobe's forums (see https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2308268). The end result is that the problem was created by an update that Adobe pushed out and they resolved it the next day by rolling back the update.

The part of this that has me confused is that I should not have ANY updates to ANYTHING being pushed onto my system. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and Framemaker 12. My OS is set to never allow Windows to update anything automatically. Obviously I'm not using Adobe CC so any auto-updates should not occur.

So 1) how did I receive the initial update that caused this problem; and 2) how did I receive the roll-back to the update that fixed the problem? What part of "no automatic updates to my system" is being bypassed here?

Thanks for any information you can glean and share with us regarding this issue.

Carol Elkins
