IMPORTANT: Microsoft Dynamics RMS 2.0 Feature Pack 2 (FP2) is cumulative and contains all hotfixes that were released after Service Pack 4 (SP4). If you have not already upgraded to Feature Pack 1 with SP4, please follow those separate instructions FIRST. 

You can request the required files by filing a support request with DRS Help Desk.

Preparation:
