Does this roll-up include a permanent reliable fix for the msiexec "out of control" issue so well highlighted in SP1, please? If there is no permanent fix for this, that fact should be highlighted here, in the SP2+CU2 KB and in the Connect issue that many are following: connect.microsoft.com/.../770630 Thanks.Anonymous

After I "Accepted" the license info. on the download page, I was sent to a page that offered 3 different downloads. I'm not sure of the difference between the three. Can you tell me which is the "full" CU for SP1? Thanks!!Anonymous

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate contains cutted SQL Server 2012 parts for DB-related development, so how can we keep this parts updated? How should we install SPs and CUs to this special cutted version of SQL Server? Microsoft Update and Visual Studio Updater don't detect the need to install these updates. Thanks.
