As per the official Updates for SharePoint 2010 Products page:
The packaging of cumulative updates changed as of August 31, 2011. The following packages are provided for cumulative updates:
- SharePoint Foundation 2010
- SharePoint Foundation 2010 + SharePoint Server 2010
- SharePoint Foundation 2010 + SharePoint Server 2010 + Project Server 2010
As a result of the new packaging, it is no longer necessary to install the SharePoint Foundation cumulative update and then install the SharePoint Server cumulative update.
Final Note:
The Office Web Apps update needs to be installed separately in addition your server update package.
Hi
Can you please tell me, whether it is mandatory to install office web app ?
If yes, after installing the office web app do we need to run the SharePoint configuration wizard.
I apologize for the delay in my reply – it is not mandatory to install the office web apps, however if you do, you will need to SharePoint configuration wizard. I’d also recommend installing the latest office web apps updates after the install. If you have any further questions on this, please feel free to contact me.
