Great Plains GP 10 fails to install. Can’t find .NET 2.0
I have a client that has been struggling with installing GP clients on a virtual server through terminal services.
Heres what happened.
We found the
glitch. I used a workstation with GP installed but not being used right
now to try and find out what is causing these issues. I first tried to
remove GP from this station and it bombed citing the same error that ".NET
Framework 2.0 not detected". I then removed .NET Framework 3.0 with
service patch and tried to remove GP again, and it still bombed with same
error. I then removed .NET Framework 2.0 with service patch and it still
bombed. I then installed the .NET 2.0 you sent as a download, and made sure
to not update anything as the update icon came on right away. I left in
.NET Framework 1.1 and 1.1 hotfix.
After downloading .NET
2.0 clean, the program then allowed me to remove GP. I then reinstalled
GP with no issues.
So, the 10.0 installation
disk we have is only looking for 2.0, and there is hell to pay if you update
it.
