Fix the “Cannot perform 'SetProperty of Text with value “” on the hidden control.” error

If you are trying to use Test Manager to record a manual test with a web application and then play it back, you might find a nasty issue while inputting stuff: the error “Cannot perform 'SetProperty of Text with value "value"' on the hidden control.”.

It is caused by the Microsoft Security Update MS13-069 (KB2870699), which introduces several security fixes as well as this strange behaviour.

To fix it and correctly playback the test, you would need to install the latest Update of Visual Studio 2012 or use Visual Studio 2013 which is not affected.
