The "correct" version didn't change, but I feel certain the DVD version would have.

One tip that can help teams that have installed the Cypress driver update from the web is that this can be made to function properly by copying the Program Files\Cypress\Programmer\3.12\Service\ftk_3_simfw. hex from a properly installed Driver Station. This is the file that gets overwritten by the Cypress update. The Driver Station needs this particular version of the file to read data from the board. The size should be 29,663 bytes.

Be sure to refer to the new Cypress troubleshooting guide at the end of the "Getting Started with the 2012 FRC Control System" document on usfirst.org.
