Dialogs won't appear after update KB3057839

Symptom

PowerBuilder might fail to open dialogs.

When you install the Windows Update (KB3057839), which includes the following fix for Windows Vista:

MS15-060: Vulnerability in Microsoft common controls could allow remote code execution.

Environment

Windows Vista with Windows Aero enabled

PowerBuilder

Reproducing the Issue

1.  Create a dialog to call the setRedraw in the open events. 

Open event of w_dialog
--------------------------------------------
event open;
integer ret
This.SetRedraw(False)
ddlb_1.AddItem("123")
ddlb_1.AddItem("456")
ret = This.SetRedraw(True)
end event
Open a dialog
open w_dialog

Cause

This problem is not a PowerBuilder issue.

It happens because PowerScript of setRedraw will call setRedraw of the Windows API.

Solution

The following workarounds can help on this situation:

Turn off Windows Aero

Uninstall KB3059317

Change the property "Visible" of dialog to "true"

Install KB3070102, which contains the following fix:  MS15-073: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Could Allow Elevation of Privilege
