Navigating WPC...
Besides the Dynamics SL specific sessions shown under the What's New
section, the "hype" (pun intended) this year seems to be around
HyperV, or more specifically, the
Windows Server 2008 w/Hypervisor.
Be sure to attend the "Virtualization Infrastructure Optimization"
session at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference to learn
more about this exciting new technology.
I hope to see many of you in Houston next week for another great
conference. I'll be at the Microsoft Dynamics SL Booth
in the Exposition Hall if you would like to stop by to chat!

When installing Microsoft Dynamics SL 6.5 SP2
Clients from a mapped network drive on workstations running Windows
Vista, you may receive the following error:
SL clients cannot be setup from a UNC directory.
When installing 6.5 SP2 on a Vista workstation, you must first
temporarily disable Vista's User Account Control (UAC) feature.
After the install is complete, UAC can be turned back on.

indicates there is a problem with a script in the Windows Installer

install Windows Script 5.6.
Do you need to use international date formats (DD/MM/YYYY)
in Dynamics SL? If so, you can alter the
Regional Settings on your local desktop and it will flow through to
SL. Thanks to Joe Hendrix with SSYH for figuring this one out! |
