You can only apply the updates in that way on clean installations, not on upgrades.
I've DCR'ed this, it hasn't been closed, but it hasn't been done either.

The Exchange installation folder includes an Updates folder. The Updates folder supports a new installation of Exchange. When you perform a new Exchange installation, you can copy an update rollup to the Updates folder. In this scenario, the update rollup package is applied during the installation of Exchange. To perform a supported new installation, follow these example steps: 1. Copy the Exchange 2010 RTM files to a local directory on the server or to a network share. 2. Place the appropriate update rollup package in the Updates subdirectory. 3. Install Exchange. The update rollup is automatically applied during the installation of Exchange. The Updates folder isn't supported for use during a service pack installation. Therefore, you can't include (that is, slipstream) an update rollup along with the installation of a service pack. The slipstream installation of an update rollup during a service pack installing hasn't been tested. Therefore, you may experience unintended results. To perform a supported upgrade installation, follow these example steps: 1. Install Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a computer that is running Exchange 2010 RTM together with Exchange 2010 Update Rollup 1. 2. Install Exchange 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 2.

Every time we update to the latest rollup in the test environment, MS comes out with another rollup, so now at RU4. So I am trying to see if Exchange 2010 SP2 install will allow slipstreaming the rollup into the SP2 install? I have read a MS article that stated it was not support at the RTM to SP1, but nothing about SP2; also saw a user blog about adding the rollup to the extracted SP "Updates" folder. Hope we can slipstream it so I do not have to do the SP2 install, then do the rollup 4.
