Pre-Req’s

We saw a couple of pre-req updates last year, but if you’re current then you’re OK today.

If however your patching isn’t to current you’ll need to check you have *all* of these pre-req’s. The Office 2013 SP1 requirement still applies if you’re using Outlook 2010. (Lync 2013 in all of its flavours – e.g. Lync Basic – is still a component of Office 2013).

  1. This version introduces a new bug when we are using the extensibility window feature:
    – cliking inside a field inside the extensibility window (which is displaying a webpage), then clicking back inside the area where we can type an instant message, and typing something, what we type appears inside the previously clicked field inside the extensibility window
    – This behavior did not occur in the previous version 15.0.4997.1000
    How can this bug be reported to Microsoft?
