Deploying UR8 to clients

Question
-
Good day,
I'm doing unattended installs of CRM 5 including the latest Update Rollup 8. The client itself is installing ok, and works fine. However, the UR fails because (as reported by the install log):
"10:34:10| Info| Exception occurred when retrieving revision from registry. Error message is: The following registry key cannot be opened: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0C524DC1-0409-0050-8121-88490F4D5549}.."As the error states, that reg key does not exist. So CRM is also not present in 'Programs and Features'. I'm doing a typical way of installing the client, so I'm not sure why, in doing so - it would not create the Uninstall reg key?
SetupClient.exe /q /l C:\[path]\CRM5OfflineClient.logThe Update command-line I'm using (from within the unpacked update):
crmupdatewrapper.exe /q /log "C:\[path]\CRM5UR8.log"Also tried using "msiexec /p" with the .msp of the update.
Manually running the UpdateWrapper, .EXE or .MSP rather than from a command line, return a similar error. I'm considering creating that key before doing the Update Rollup, and pushing that key just prior to the rollup, but that seems a backdoor way to do so, I'd rather do as intended. I've also read that a Language Pack is needed before installing any rollups, but it fails because it's looking for the same non-existent Uninstall registry key.

Hi,
Did you install rollup 6 before moving onto Rollup 8? Once you install all your rollups, just restart the server and clear temporary Internet files. hope it works fine.

Hi,
The server is already at UR8. I'm pushing the client and the current rollup out to a group of new users. Is UR6 needed first on the clients as well?
Thanks.

Ok, that seems to be the case. Kinda a cryptic way of the log to say so it seems, but appreciate your response, Rudra.Tuesday, July 10, 2012 8:10 PM

Hi Dan,
UR6 is Prerequisite for UR8. Please see the below thread.
