SharePoint 2013 Cumulative Update Error - The expected version of the product was not found on the system

I got this error while I was trying to install the Cumulative Updates August 2013. The reason for this error is that the baseline for all updates is the first Cumulative Update in March.

I checked my build version of the farm

and found out that I've installed the RTM version.



If this doesn't solve your problem you can try to start the ubersrv2013-kbxxxxxx-fullfile-x64-glb.exe with the parameter PACKAGE.BYPASS.DETECTION.CHECK=1 like:

ubersrv2013-kbxxxxxx-fullfile-x64-glb.exe PACKAGE.BYPASS.DETECTION.CHECK=1

( Do not forget to start the command as farm administrator )

This bypassed all checks so that you can force the installation.

If you want to open a SP 2010 or in SP 2013 list item in a modal dialog you have two choices. Using the standard JavaScript functions or creating own functions. How to find which item URL is called If the dialog box appears you don't have an address bar to pick up the called URL.

Click on the "Network" tab and then on "Start Capturing" Now click the link you want to track. You'll see the requests listed and you can also copy the urls for your need. SharePoint usually calls the /_layout/listform.aspx with the list parameter. The form then redirects to the appropriate list form. Method 1: Using core functions When using SharePoint 2010 core javascript functions to open elements in dialogs mostly you'll need to know : the ID of the l

Ways to redirect http requests in SharePoint

Image
The are multiple szenarios when you need a redirect in SharePoint: You've migrated SharePoint into a new URL (e.g http://sp2010 to http://sp2013) You moved a site collection You moved a sub site into a new site collection If you want to redirect in SharePoint without custom solutions you have the following options: Redirect with XML Viewer or Content Editor WebPart You can redirect with JavaScript by inserting a WebPart into the site and adding simple JavaScript. This is easy to configure but redirects only the site in which the WebPart sits (Probably the Mainsite). If users have saved links the their document libraries this method fails, unless you put the same WebPart into the document library. So go to the site you want to redirect and the XML Viewer WebPart. Open the WebPart settings and add the following line of code: <script type="text/javascript"> location.href = "<<the url you want to redirect>>"; </s
