SharePoint August 2012 CU install problems - "The expected version of the product was not found on the system."

  • Article

Are you trying to install the SharePoint 2010 August 2012 CU and getting the following message?    "The expected version of the product was not found on the system."

 

 

Remember - The August 2012 CU is the first patch to require Service Pack 1 to be installed.  This means you must have SharePoint 2010 SP1 AND any Language Packs SP1 installed also.   If you are using multiple languages, you will have multiple Language Pack Service Packs to install.

 

 

 

Hope this helps you out!

    Thanks for this.  Something I missed after I installed SP1 was the English Language pack. Why there is an English Language pack for a default English product is beyond me but it is required before you can install the August CU.
