An ADO-based application that is compiled in Windows 7 SP1 or in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 does not run in earlier versions of Windows

I have read many articles about this problem, but I can't really see where the solution is for me.

I need to compile a Visual C++ program that uses msado15.dll. I have Windows 7 SP1 with Visual Studio 2010. I'm targeting Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2011.

In the update text in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2011/10/03/yes-we-made-a-mistake-and-are-finally-going-to-fix-it.aspx, it says that the fix is published as the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2640696. But at other places I have read that you should not do this update and use the updated msado60.tlb file instead. Where can I find that file, or does it update from "Windows Update"?

I found a "fixed" file called msado60_backcompat.tlb on a blog, after using it it works on WinServer 2003 and 2008 but not on Windows Server 2011.

Any ideas how I should proceed to solve my problem?
