Application compatibility path kb929427 brakes ACDSee Pro 8

[Yury A.]

Prior installing the update ACDSee Pro 8 used to work OK under Vista, with
some minor problem but it was usable.
After installing the update, which claims to fix some ACDSee 8 problems
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929427), ACDSee fails to run under Vista
with "The procedure entry point StiCreateInstanceW could not be
located.....".

"Great job" MS is that the new way of fixing application compatibility
problems?

Did you uninstall the update? Is ACDsee Pro 8 the XP version running in
Vista or is it a Vista version? Have you asked the program vendor if they
are putting out a Vista version?
