Up To Date CRM Outlook Client

Question
-
We are currently on Update Rollup 13 of the CRM Outlook Client. What is the correct way to install the Outlook client? (e.g. start with RTM, then install Update Rollup 7, then install Update Rollup13) Is there somewhere I can download a complete CRM Outlook client INCLUDING Update Rollup 13 so only one install step is needed?
Thanks.

You can download a copy of the client from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=60c4a6cc-59d7-416e-9f44-0ae8ff249768 with Rollup 10 slipstreamed into the installer. All you need to do is deploy Rollup 13 which you can do my setting up Auto Updating of CRM and a good starting guide is here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2008/05/08/crm-client-autoupdate.aspx.

Thanks David, that's very helpful.
I would still like to know why Microsoft don't provide a client installer with the latest update rollup slipstreamed in at the same time the update rollup is released?????

Its not available, you need to download and install Outlook client then install Rollup13.

Hi PCS1234
I have done a bit of digging around this evening to see if it is possible to slipstream rollup 13 into the package with rollup 10 slipstreamed and unfortunately it seems that the answer is no. I stick by my original answer that you will have to deploy auto-update. One tip, if possible allow the client machines to download directly from MSFT rather than creating folders in the CRM deployment and extracting the update to it.
