I attempted to install Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013, but I get the error shown in the image
When I drill donw into the error log I noticed the following message:
Installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime failed. Exit code: 5100.
Result: Asia
As a result I decided to abort the installation CRM 2013 and tried to install Microsoft Dynamics CRM Setup. Everything appears to be going in the right direction, however I keep on getting the error that the Download failed for SQL Native Client, see image.
I have turned off the Firewall to make sure that the Firewall was blocking the download.
Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?
I am tring to install on Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Server 2014
To resolve this problem I manually downloaded the SQL 2008 native client from Microsoft site.
Make sure to restart the Server post installation.
I am trying to upgrade Dynamics 365 version 8.2.3 to version 9.0, but have some problems with it.
I've tried two scenarios on my test server:
Created backup of my real CRM database (XXXXXX_MSCRM)
Restored it on the test server.
Installed version 9.0 on the test server. Installed the latest update for it.
Did Import Organization on restored database (XXXXXX_MSCRM) via Deployment Manager. It failed.
As a result, importing failed with this exception:
System.Exception: Error.ActionFailed Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.InstallDatabaseUpdatesAction ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Error in Action: Bin\Microsoft.Crm.Setup.DiffBuilder.dll:UpgradeSystemAndMetadataDiffIndexManagementDataWithDelete on attempt 3. System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The constraint 'PK_topicmodelBase' is being referenced by table 'TopicModelExecutionHistoryBase', foreign key constraint 'topicmodel_topicmodelexecutionhistory'.
Created backup of my real CRM database (XXXXXX_MSCRM)
Restored it on the test server.
Installed version 8.2 on the test server.
Did Import Organization on restored database (XXXXXX_MSCRM) via Deployment Manager. It succeeded.
Installed the latest update for version 8.2. It succeeded.
Installed/Upgraded Dynamics 365 to version 9.0. It failed.
During the installation it also tried to upgrade Organization version to 9.0 and failed. So, server version 9.0 is installed, but my organization is in Failed state.
Explored the log file and got this exception:
System.Exception: Action Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.InstallCrmSystemConvertedSolutionsAction failed. ---> Microsoft.Crm.PackageDeployment.PackageDeployerException: Package msdynce_MarketingSales failed to install on attempt 1.
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> Microsoft.Crm.MultiTenantPackageDeployment.PackageDeployerImportException: PackageDeployerWrapper: Import Failed status encountered. Details: Failed to load solution Marketing Sales Patch, version: 9.0.4.3602
and also a bunch of this kind of inner exceptions:
Error : The AttributeLookupValue (Id=81cde1dc-2241-db11-898a-0007e9e17ebd) entity or component has attempted to transition from an invalid state: ComponentStateName: Solution; ComponentOperation: Delete; ComponentSolutionType: Active; SolutionOperationContext: MoveSystemComponentToFirstPartySolution; IsProtected: False; FinalComponentState: Publish.
Did anyone faced with such a problems during the upgrade process?
Ok, I have successfully upgraded Dynamics 365 and my organization to version 9 with the second scenario.
Here is my solution:
First of all, my Dynamics 365 version and real organization's version (let's call it "RealOrg") was of version 8.2.3.8.
1. Install the latest update for Dynamics 365 8.2 (Update 2.15). No problem with it, everything should work fine. So we got 8.2.15.2 version.
2. Now we need to run setup of version 9. At the start of the installation we must choose some organization which will be upgraded to the new version <-- so here is the problem part. Whatever organization I choose, after upgrading it to v9 it will be always in Failed status, so I will lose it. What I did is created new organization via Deployment Manager, lets call it "FakeOrg" then I chose this organization to upgrade it to version 9. After that, we are able to manually upgrade "RealOrg" at any time after v9 installation.
3. Upgrade should perform successfully, despite the fact that it can show exception message (this exception probably refers to organization upgrade). So now we got "FakeOrg" of version 9.0.2.3034 with Failed status (we don't need it anymore) and "RealOrg" of version 8.2.15.2 with Disabled status, but we can see that Update option is available for "RealOrg".
4. It is important do not update "RealOrg" to new version at this step, because it will try to update organization to 9.0.2.3034 version which is pretty buggy and it will fail. We need to install first update for Dynamics 365 9.0 (Update 0.3). It performs with no problem. So now we have version 9.0.3.7.
5. We finally can manually upgrade our "RealOrg" from version 8.2.15.2 to version 9.0.3.7. It took around 2-3 hours for me, but worked fine with no problem.
6. After all, another problem I faced was this exception when I tried to access Dynamics 365 website:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies
The reason of this exception is absence of report viewer .dll-s in website bin folder.
Solutions is to copy 7 .dll files from version 9 installation extracted files (you should extract files before running the setup of v9)
Copy these files:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.DataVisualization.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Design.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebDesign.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll
Into this folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\bin
I have a Production instance on CRM 2015 Update 1. Once I update to Dynamics CRM 2016 and get a Sandbox instance after that, will the new Sandbox instance after I update to 2016 be the new 2016 version or the Dynamics CRM 2015 Update 1 version?
I'm pretty sure that new Sandbox will be CRM 2016 based.
I'm assuming you already have a sandbox 2015 update 1 instance, but your question sounds like you'll get a sandbox after you upgrade. Our normal upgrade process is to upgrade the sandbox first, perform some system tests, and then send the "All Clear" message to have the production instance updated. You'll want to follow these steps as well to ensure that an update doesn't break any of your customizations.
we've been running to problems lately when our CRM 2011 automatically updates to the latest rollup (17 I think) coming from rollup 5. So what we've been doing now to resolve the problem is to uninstall the rollup since we're perfectly fine without the Rollup anyway. The problem is, after uninstalling the updates it just automatically updates itself again after some random time.
So the question is, is there a way to prevent CRM 2011 from automatically updating the Rollup? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Update Rollup for Dynamics CRM can be applied to the Server or to the Client Outlook.
In your case you are referring to the Client Outlook, if the rollup is automatically installed you need to change the settings inside Windows Update, because the Update Rollup are also released using that channel.
I need to install MS Dynamics CRM 2013 on two tiers. I have two VMs and I want to install the database of the CRM on one instance and the app of the CRM on the other instance.
Kindly guide me how can this be done.

I'd start out by looking at the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Implementation Guide and then asking a more pointed question if you run into a problem.
Here is the online version of the installation instructions: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699742(v=crm.6).aspx
Install SQL Server on one VM and the CRM on the other, the installation will ask for the name of the SQL Server to use as part of the process.
