Exception Error while installating AX 2012

Pramodmshenoy · October 7, 2011, 6:36am

I’m installing Ax 2012 remotely on the Clients Server. All the pre-requisites for Ax 2012 Installation have been installed and verified. During the Installation when I’ve select the components to be installed, it gives the following error -

“An unexpected error occured during the setup. See the logfile C:\Program files\ Microsoft dynamics AX\60\Setup Logs… for details.”

This error comes for both Custom Installation and Single Computer Installation.

When I see the Setup Logs in the 60 folder of MSD AX , I find the following error-

"2011-10-07 06:52:55Z Exception: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException

Hi,

Reading through your error log, I found following message -

What port number did you provide?

daxpert · February 21, 2012, 3:48pm

mohan is correct.

after going through your message carefully, that is the first Exception looking for port number.

let us know .

robwheels · February 21, 2012, 3:58pm

I was not prompted for a port # since I was adding a component to my AOS. We cannot install the management tool. I installed the orignial AOS with the default setting 2712 and 8101.

Were you referring to a different port?

Hi Guys,

Such error occurs when missing msi file in C:\Windows\Installer. This is a windows issue.

Missing file May have been caused by manual intervention or third party software, but not traceable.

I would suggest you to ask your infrastructure team to rebuild the machine as explained in the following link:

Please see: support.microsoft.com/…/2667628

The Windows Installer Cache, located in c:\windows\installer folder, is used to store important files for applications installed using the Windows Installer technology and should not be deleted. If the installer cache has been compromised, you may not immediately see problems until you perform an action such as uninstall, repair, or update on a product.

When a product is installed using Windows Installer critical files are stored in the Windows Installer Cache (default is C:\Windows\Installer). These files are required for uninstalling and updating applications. Missing files cannot be copied between machines since they are unique.

If files are missing from the Windows Installer Cache, you will have to rebuild the operating system and reinstall applications.
