MSFT released this CU a few days ago. The download is 1.3Gb like the previous ones.
After downloading this update right click on the CU and select “Run As Administrator”
The update takes a while to extract and then checks what needs to be updated. The update itself then takes aprox 4-5 hours to install.
Once installed it prompts to reboot the server. After the reboot you can open up the SharePoint Configuration Wizard and let it upgrade.
Mine took quite a while but when through the steps until Step 9 of 10. The upgrade sat there for about 20 min before proceeding on to Step 10 and then finishing.
One thing I noticed is that the previous “bug” if you want to call it that seems to be fixed:
***My SharePoint Server out of the blue started throwing event ID 6398. The error is :
- Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Unable to create a DataCache. SPDistributedCache is probably down..***
Hope it helps
For the last few CU’s I have been using PowerShell I found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2013/04/01/why-sharepoint-2013-cumulative-update-takes-5-hours-to-install.aspx
to reduce the time it takes to install just the executable.
Thanks Gerald, I had the “old” SP1 installed and applied the “new” one. For me 4-5 hours is no problem, i would rather let it run its course.
Hi edwardvbs,
please be so kind to provide a link to the MS download page. I tried to find the download for this 1,3 GB SP 2013 April 2014 CU but had no luck so far.
