816915 New file naming schema for Microsoft Windows software update packages
SUMMARYMicrosoft has adopted a standardized naming schema for all
the software update packages for SQL Server that are created and
that are distributed by Microsoft. A software update is an executable (.exe) file that
contains one or more files that you can apply to Microsoft SQL Server to
correct a specific problem. Software updates are distributed by Microsoft Product
Support Services (PSS) to customers whose computers are severely affected by a
specific problem. Critical and recommended updates are software updates that we
recommend for all customers. Critical or recommended updates can be obtained
from the Microsoft Download Center, from Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) or from
other Microsoft Web sites. Microsoft has adopted this new naming
schema for software update packages for the following reasons:
- It creates consistency across Microsoft software update packages.
- It makes it easier to search for software updated packages and
Knowledge Base articles.
- It clearly identifies the language of a software update package and
the intended SQL Server version, when applicable.
