    Hi - When you created Client upgrade package from create package from definition wizard did you select a) the package does not contain any source files b) always obtain source files from a source folder c) create a compressed version of the source files

    Will it be possible to share a detailed document on how to create client upgrade package after SP2 upgrade?

    All my clients are still running older version. This is home lab.

    Now if only MS asked for the language BEFORE downloading prerequisites we might have skipped 99% of them! What a waste of time and disc space...
