Pre-Req’s

A few people have found their recent updates haven’t delivered as expected. Don’t forget *all* of the pre-req’s. The Office 2013 SP1 requirement still applies if you’re using Outlook 2010, as Lync 2013 in all of its flavours – e.g. Lync Basic – is still a component of Office 2013.

Reboot

Alas, in my enthusiasm to get this update installed I failed to exit the client first, so yes I was prompted for a reboot!

A re-run of the process on another PC resulted in the update going on without any requirement to reboot.
