Why do I get an error for “__CrtGetFileInformationByHandleEx ” when I try to compile

Microsoft is aware of this issue with KB3098779 and 3097997:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3118750

The recommendation is to uninstall these patches and then rescan for updates. Newer versions of these security patches (that do not break the VB compiler) are now available.
