Dynamics AX Demo Package V4 Erratum 1

The recent Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 V4 image comes with CU7 installed. One of the new functions is the integration with Microsoft Project (a complete list here).

When you start discovering these new features you will notice Infolog messages as “Method 'version' is not supported by the Automation interface of the COM object of class 'MSProject.Application” or “COM Object of class ‘MSProject.Application’ could not be created. Ensure that the object has been properly registered on computer ‘AX2012R2A’”. This is an indication that something is amiss with the client configuration. The demo image misses a directory in the released version. The USSI company Project management and accounting parameters mention \\ax2012r2a\attachments\ussi\projects but the \\ax2012r2a\attachments share is missing with the sub directories. Create them, make the share and things will run smoothly. Or create another directory and change the parameter settings accordingly.

BTW you can also use a SharePoint on premise or online location to save to as well. But then you need to make some changes in the Collaboration Workspace Settings in USSI System Administration too.

Enjoy,
