This article describes update 4486749 for Microsoft Project 2016 that was released on December 1, 2020.

Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home (see What version of Office am I using?).

Improvements and fixes

This update adds security enhancements that provide a more secure version of the signature scheme for Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) projects. For more information, see Upgrade signed Office VBA macro projects to V3 signature.

Note To enable this improvement, you have to install KB 4486746, KB 4486747, and KB 4486716 together with this update.

This update also fixes the following issues:

  • When you use the ConsolidateProjects method with enterprise projects, and the AttachToSources parameter is set to False, if the code tries to insert the same project multiple times, it fails to run and the following error occurs:

    "The file format is not valid.
    Use a different file for this situation."

  • The value of the actual cost of work performed (ACWP) field for a given task may not update accordingly when the Status Date is changed.
