Released: June 2016 Quarterly Exchange Updates

In what was a terrifying moment on step 16 (finalizing setup), the DepedentAssemblyGenerator.exe crashed and left the setup incomplete. Luckily running setup again detected the incomplete previous setup and was able to successfully complete it, but man that was scary. I copied what was presented in case anyone wants it, and also submitted a crash report to Microsoft.
