Still no working download links :(

My fingers are itching to get to playing around with this build.

Are there any major/minor changes since CTP3?

Richard — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 02:53:57 GMT

Hmmm still waiting - will this links ever get functional?

BTW on tabbed browsing - had some issues with that on 3.0 in design mode - maybe they just wanted to avoid this.

Richard, 12 PST means you have to wait about 8 hrs from now. Can't help that they planned it this way.

It is live now and sooner than expected, be gentle on the servers please :)

Thanks very much. Appreciate you've been working weekends to get this done - really helpful to have it available for Monday.

Found already a bug(?, can't create organizations), but I love the Titan Speed batchscript. It gave the image a real visible boost.

The image has also a SPN issue (causes a 401 if you use the domain in Visual Studio), the same as the Training VPC.

Here you can find the fix:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6EC50B78-8BE1-4E81-B3BE-4E7AC4F0912D&displaylang=en

Downloaded and installed the W2k3 support tools (never leave the office without a copy) I do often a CRM 3 installation.

After the installation it open a command session:

Hi Menno,

Any news about the the availability of (Dutch) language pack for RC0, this would help us greatly during a demo..

By the way, VPC works excellent!

Thanks,

Jean-Paul

Huggis — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 12:13:58 GMT

I'm trying to upgrade my CRM3.0 VPC to CRM4.0 RTM.

Everything has gone well apart from the Outlook Client. The installer states "Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook cannot be installed on a computer where Microsoft Exchange Server versions prior to Exchange Server 2007 are installed".

Anyone know of a work around or do I need to upgarde exchange too......!

HSK55 — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:42:14 GMT

Have the same Problem with install my CRM Outlook Client like Huggis.

Any idear to fix this problem?

re: ENJOY: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 RC0 VPC

mennotk — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:12:43 GMT

For everybody that wants to upgrade the Outlook Client on the VPC... You need to do the following: add a DWORD key to the registery.

Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM\IgnoreChecks

Value: 1

Restart your setup and you should be good to go. Just as a reminder, this is "officially" not a supported scenario.

Ok im already experiencing a nasty bug in the CRM 4.0 VPC. It runs great for the first week. Then all of a sudden when you try to run it again you get this:

Cannot open database "CRMVPC_MSCRM" requested by the login. The login failed.

Of course everything looks fine in the login area so im baffled as to why this happend. Anyone else had the happen and is there a fix? Thanks! Bill

Hi,

Anyone know when the 64 bit version of CRM 4.0 will be released? It's not available on MSDN subscriber downloads (the 32bit is).

Thanks
