Unable to complete the download of x64 largest EXE (462311_intl_x64_zip.exe) - have tried numerous times. Downloads to >80% complete, then fails. No data connectivity issue on my end--have tried two different network connections independent of one another, same behavior.Anonymous

I was able to download and apply CU#6 successfully about a week ago, but I notice it's now no longer available (the big several-hundred MB file; there are a few smaller ones still there). Has it been retracted for some reason we should know about? We've been testing internally and have not discovered any issues.Anonymous

I'd like to know also why the download disappeared and when we can expect to have it back?Anonymous

Hello? Can we please have some communication as to why the download is still not available? It's a bit misleading to say "is now available for download" when it isn't, don't you think?Anonymous

Hello all, I have today received the following Information from Microsoft: In extensive regression testing, it was found that under certain circumstances, index corruptions can occur with the CU6 - COD. Thats the reason why the download disappeared for the CU6 COD (Critical On Demand) We all need to wait for the CU7 (for a few Days) Cheers, OliverAnonymous
