As part of the patch, it comprises of three updates which needs to be run in a particular order.

These patches come in both the 32bit and 64bit formats based on your Office client deployment.

NOTE: On installation within my lab I was finding the presence between Outlook and Lync not working as expected. At the time of writing im still evaluating if this is a actual issue. Reports are others are seeing this issue as well.
