German blog reader Frank T. (thanks for the hint) just e-mailed me about Microsoft KB article 4345913 "Access Denied" errors and applications with COM activation fail after installing July 2018 Security and Quality Rollup updates for .NET Framework, which refers to .NET Framework.
Issues with old .NET-Framework Updates
Applications that rely on the .NET Framework to initialize a COM component and run with limited privileges may not start or run correctly after the July 2018 .NET Framework security and quality rollup updates are installed.
After installing one of the July 2018 .NET Framework Security Updates, a COM component cannot be loaded because the errors "access denied", "class not registered" or "internal failure occurred for unknown reasons" occur. The most common error signature is the following
Exception type: System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Message: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
KB4345913 lists the affected applications, started from Sharepoint, to BizTalk Server Administration Console, IS with Classic ASP up to .NET applications.
