Each cumulative update includes new updates in addition to all the updates that were included in previous cumulative updates. We recommend testing and then applying the latest CU to all BizTalk environments.

Note

After installing, you will need to reboot your BizTalk Server(s) to take effect.

A common question:

  • I don’t have any problems. Should I install this Cumulative Update 2?
    • Yes, technically speaking the cumulative updates not only includes bug fixes, they also includes improvements, also as the integrations corporate solutions evolves, the risk to detect issues already fixed by Microsoft also increase. We emphasize to test the CU in a Test Environment before you install the updates at a Production Environment.

Important

The cumulative update package is a unified package that contains both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (amd64/x64) files. To install the update correctly, run the Setup.exe file. Never run other files, such as .msp files, directly.

Note

An improved hotfix installer is used in the cumulative update 2 package. When you install the cumulative update package, the installer displays a list of the installed features that are updated and the number of fixes for each feature.
