Dynamics CRM 2011 and IE 10. Do they work together?

This is exactly what I had asked the experts on Microsoft CRM 2011 forums and as expected the advise flooded. One very useful advise was a link to the KB article on Microsoft's Support Site KB/2743941.

I would receive this error when trying to attach a file. Whether I try to click 'Send Error' or 'Don't Send', another similar popup would appear indefinitely.

I haven't yet tried to upgrade to UR/12 but I'm confident.

Significance of Update Rollup 7 for MS Dynamics CRM 4

Update Rollup 7 has been rolled out and apart from vast improvements to the platform special focus has been given to advances in Dynamics CRM Mobile Express and Dynamics CRM Outlook Client. More information @ this link.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE - CRM Server Update Rollup 7

• Update Rollup 7 adds support for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 & SQL Server 2008 R2
• Update Rollup 7 Client can be installed before upgrading the server to Update Rollup 7
• Update Rollup 7 Client cannot be un-installed because there has been schema changes to the offline database. All other Update Rollup 7 components (Server, SRS, Language Packs....) can be un-installed.
• Update Rollup 7 Client package will be a pre-requisite for all future Client Update Rollups. i.e. All future releases of Client Update Rollups starting from Update Rollup 8 will not install if Update Rollup 7 Client is not found.

Update Rollup 7 has new requirements
#1 - Internet connection is required for successful Client installation.
#2 - Client update 7 installation will take longer than all previous UR installations. Microsoft asks to be patient.

MSCRMAsync error in Event Viewer

Lately I encountered another interesting error during CRM implementaion. After installing Update Rollup 4, I noticed MSCRMAsync Service in the Event Viewer throwing an error at regular intervals.

Google looked around the world wide web and brought to me that .Net Framework 3.0 SP1 was missing. I downloaded and before it could finish installation, it threw another error and took everything down (including SQL Server 2005). I un-installed Update Rollup 4 for CRM, .Net Framework 3.0 and .Net Framework 2.0. Re-installed them again in this manner

• .Net Framework 2.0
• .Net Framework 2.0 SP1
• .Net Framework 3.0 &
• .Net Framework 3.0 SP1
• Update Rollup 4

after which everything seem'd to be perfect. Event viewer was error spotless.

If you've received a similar error but had a different solution, I'm sure you want to share it as a comment.
