Netbackup 6.5.5 client for windows - do i need to install previous versions first ?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi
I am taking care of installing the netbackup client on windows computers in my company.
the recommended path of installation for 6.5.5 that i was given by the backup team is to install v 6.5 + patches 6.5mp3 and 6.5mp3.1
then to install the 6.5.5 client
this seems like a lot of installs for one client. Is this really needed ? and is so, is it possible to build a single command to integrate all ?
thanks in advance

& then upgrade to 6.5.5 (unlesss I missed something when 6.5.5 came out!)
From the following T/N:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/337041.htm
"...
The 6.5.5 Release Updates listed below requires 6.5 GA be installed before installation. The release updates are cumulative and do not require the application of the previous release update. For example, a customer running 6.5.GA can apply the 6.5.5 release updates directly, there is no need to apply 6.5.1/6.5.2 in order to move to the 6.5.5 level.

one install + one upgrade (until the next upgrade comes along, of course)
will restore -- where there is a Will there is a way
I have an Idea logged for this type of request.

Tip: Get overview/document your NBU environment. Run 'nbsu' and review the output.

When 6.5.3.1 came out it was not cumulative
so you had to install 6.5 + 6.5.3 + 6.5.3.1
But when 6.5.5 came it it was cumulative so you only needed 6.5 + 6.5.5
I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.
NetBackup 7.0.1 - AIX & Windows
Good point.

thanks all for the info, that's what i was expecting...
I guess my colleagues were misguided because there is no mention of 6.5.3 and 6.5.3.1 in the documents (probably because those
did not exist when the document was published first).
