Project Server 2007: October 2009 Cumulative Updates (CU) are Available

October 29, 2009 @ Brian Smith's Microsoft Project Support Blog from BriSmith


Thanks to the Product Group, our partners in Office Sustained Engineering partners and of course Rob – who keeps this all running smoothly from the support side - we now have a new set of Cumulative Updates!  One fix that I know Mary is waiting for (we met at the Project Conference) is the ‘loading grid’ issue when updating milestone tasks – Fixed!  Details of the CU follow, and also included are more general links regarding application of Service Packs.

The Server CU is released in two different versions.  The first version is in Individual Packages specific to a particular product like WSS and Project Server.  These are smaller downloads but they do not include language packs or patches for other products so patches for those products would have to be downloaded and installed separately. 

The second version is the Server Rollup Packages.  This is a set of two rollup packages which contains all the fixes for WSS, Project Server and MOSS.  These packages should be used when MOSS is part of the deployment and/or you have language packs installed.  The Server Rollup Packages are much larger (~200MB each) but they will greatly simplify MOSS patch deployment.

A reminder on the download links – just replace the KB number where I have xxxxxx and you will go straight there:

You can read about the fixes included in the October CU from the following articles:
