2008 R2 Cumulative Update 5 on x64

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Cumulative Update 5 was released the other day.

    I'm looking at the downloads page for this and although I can see the x86 SQL Server RTM binary and ia64 SQL Server RTM binary I cannot see the x64 RTM binary...

    http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2438347&kbln=en-us

    ...as you can see there are some x64 binaries there, but no RTM SQL Server. Just Sap, SSRS+Sharepoint, Master Data Services, Performance Point + Excel, SNAC.

    Does anyone know if a CU5 SQL Server RTM binary has been released for 64 bit?

  • In case anyone is looking for this, the x64 binary is now in place alongside those for x86 and ia64.

  • I've just seen that CU6 is out now anyway, in x86, x64 and ia64 flavours.

  • I just installed our first SQL 2008 R2... I am on the fence to wait for SP1 or apply the latest CU.... Microsoft used to say don't apply CU's unless you are experiencing a specific problem and wait for the SP to come out due to more rigid testing.
