Which updates to install to reach the latest version of Delphi 2007?

Question

There are a handful of patches for Delphi 2007 in my Registered Users downloads page. (This page is quite unwieldy if you have more than a few registered versions.) I no longer recall what is the proper combination to get the latest version of Delphi 2007 installed.

Is there an ISO available with all the patches, or what is the recommended way to get the latest fully patched Delphi 2007? The only ISO appears to be CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 ISO (Dec 2007) and I assume that isn't the latest fully patched version due to the Dec 2007 tag.

It seems the proper combination is:

R2 install from the web (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/26910)
April 08 Hotfix (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25495)
June 08 Linker Hotfix (this is for C++ Builder only) (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25694)
May/June 08 Help Update 4 (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25688)
Debugger fix for Windows 7 (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/27521)

Not necessarily against anything, but is this an appropriate question for StackOverflow? — Jerry Dodge
@Jerry: It's perfectly fine. This site is for programming and programmers tools questions, and Delphi 2007 is a programmers tool the last time I checked. (The IDE used for programming is an on-topic subject here, unless the question is for a shopping-list of possible IDEs to use for some purpose.) — Ken White

AFAIK, the only things you need are:

R2, which is a cumulative update, and contains all of the updates prior to it.
Help Update 4
the Win7 debugger patch

Here's the relevant portion of the Help->About dialog from my copy of Delphi 2007:
