More information about this security update

Important This security update is offered when the Visual Studio Macro Tools (also known as Visual Studio for Applications [VSA]) component is installed from Visual Studio 2010. This is because VSA was included as part of Visual Studio 2008, was repackaged, and then was included again as a separate component with Visual Studio 2010.
