When I am trying to install the IFD tool on an on-premise CRM installation it is not updating the registry and the database.
Should the user doing the installation have some special permissions.
Run the IFD tool as Administrator. It will work then.
You'll probably want to check the deployment guide, but I'd assume you'd want to be a Deployment Administrator.
I assume you mean "When I am trying to run the IFD tool" and not "install".
Make sure that the user you are logged into the server as is user who is a deployment administrator. The User running the IFD tool must have rights to the MSCRM_CONFIG database.

My company uses MS dynamics CRM 4.0 and I can only access the client side of it (using the URL in IE to open the CRM system).
I can see that the system could do with some enhancements and plug-ins.I want to work on them because when I suggested these enhancements I was told that the system will be upgraded, after maybe 2 years. So no one is working on making it better even though the extension could really help the users.
Details: Currently, users enter details for each sale into the system. This takes a lot of time because the server and centralised database is in another continent. What I want to do is to have the users enter their data into an excel sheet and a system scheduler will upload the data overnight.
My question is can I develop, plug-ins or extensions etc, on the CRM with VS Express Edition? I have no access to the CRM Server or database since I'm using only the browser to use the system to enter data, just the client side CRM window.
Edit This is not lack of research. I have not found an answer to this anywhere.
I appreciate your expertise and experience.
If you are talking about .NET, server-side plugins, you'll need the following things as described on the "Creating a Simple Plug-in" page of the 4.0 SDK:
To complete this walkthrough, you will need the following:
Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.
A pre-built version of the Plug-in Registration tool.
A Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK installation.
Network access to a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 server.
A Microsoft Dynamics CRM system account with either the System
Administrator or System Customizer security role, which is also a
member of the Deployment Administrators group in Deployment Manager.
The line about network access to the server I'm not so sure about. If you register the plugin to the database as you typically would, I don't think you'd need network access; if you deploy to disk, that's when I think you need it.
If by "extensions" you mean things like adding scripts to forms, the only thing you'd need is the System Customizer or System Administrator roles.
Update based on your addition to question:
If you want to schedule a daily import, you should be able to do that with the limited, web-only access you have (assuming you have enough privileges to kick off imports [which, if you can do it through the UI, you can do it programmatically]). Your program could run and kick off import jobs (see "Configuring Data Import" page of SDK). I know for sure you could kick off imports of csv's, not sure about programmatically importing excel files, but you could programmatically transform the excel files to csv and then kick off the jobs.
I am trying to create a build agent in Visual Studio 2015. I have TFS 2015, and Visual Studio 2015 installed on my Windows 8 laptop. This is for my learning. I have been following the steps in link:
However, after Step 6, the command line complains that I do not have appropriate permissions.
My user I am logged in as has Admin rights on the box, is part of the Agent Pool Administrators and Agent Pool Service Accounts.
After the build agent is created, it has a Red color next to it showing offline. I am not sure how or have been unsuccessful in turning it to green.
Thoughts?
Thank you.

You likely need to run the agent with admin privileges. You may need to start CMD as admin before attempting to run ConfigureAgent.
Check the account that is running your build agent service to see whether this account belongs to Build Agent Service Accounts group.
I want to run BizTalk server 2010 on windows 7. Problem is my company’s management does not want to give local administrator rights to developers. Can I perform BizTalk operations (like start/stop/create/ delete host and host instances, publish website on IIS, deploy services, import/export MSI and bindings, create SSO and BRE entries, etc) without local administrator rights.
I also need to work on ESB toolkit.
I want to confirm that, due to the absence of local administrator rights, would I stuck or be in trouble at any stage of BizTalk service live cycle ? and is there any way around to overcome those issues ?
Thank you,
Best answer: Can they provision a VM of Windows Server 2008 R2 for you where you can be a local Administrator and run BizTalk Server? Even the most security conscious environments I've been in allow this.
To address your specific question: No, you don't need to have local Administrator, but...there are a number of tasks during BizTalk DEV that require a very high level of privilege on the system, such as creating and managing Services, deploying/installing applications, managing the Global Assemble Cache and probably a few more.
So, by the time you get all the system rights to do these, you're pretty close to being a local Administrator anyway.
Either way, a VM is still the preferable option. Technically, it doesn't even have to be joined to a Domain so you'd really be in a sandbox.
I need to install a SQL Server 2008 database on several user machines. The users are not technically proficient, so I cannot create a script and just give it to them. I need to be able to create an executable that will create the database. The executable will check if the user has SQL Server 2008 Express installed, then install the database. The executable will install the database using Integrated Security, so I don't need the user's id or password.
I tried using the database project in Visual Studio 2010, but it just creates scripts.
Is there an open source solution to creating an executable that installs SQL Server databases?
May I suggest that you look at embedding SQLServer 2008 Express within your application.
Check the Microsoft link here.
Then you can check for an SQL instance and install one if it doesn't exist when the program first starts up.
A simple way would be to use SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) to create a .NET console application that creates the database.
Depending on your security rights on your user's machines you may be able to run the app from your workstation and deploy directly to their machines.
SMO can also be driven by powershell.
Aside from running as a administrator, is there any workaround for this requirement?
xxx.vbproj : error : The Web
Application Project XXX is configured
to use IIS. To access local IIS Web
sites, you must install the following
IIS components:
In addition, you must run Visual
Studio in the context of an
administrator account.
If you do not want to run as an administrator, then host using the Developer Web Server (Cassini) rather than IIS.
One option - though not recommended by Microsoft - is to turn off User Account Control (UAC):
Disable User Account Control (UAC) in Windows 7
You can active Administrator account and use that account you never get this issue. you can find this post which also works in windws7.
