Lync 2010 on Windows XP Pro / Windows Server 2003: Lync client does not start (after installing March 2013 update)
There’s a fix for the fix 😉
If you’re a Windows XP Pro or Windows Server 2003 user and have applied the March 2013 cumulative update for Lync Client 2010, you may receive an error when you try and start the Lync client:
“The parameter is incorrect”
To resolve this issue, install the April 2013 cumulative update, available from Windows Update, or here from MS Support: Description of the cumulative update package for Lync 2010: April 2013
And, relax….
By the way, and not at all related, but this is a really good book:
