Hi,

After adding the crmlistcomponent.wsp solution to the SharePoint’s team site, while trying to Activate the solution we were getting some error.

The solution for which was to start the SharePoint User Code Host service. However in our case we were not able to start the service, as it would stop after few seconds. The reason was because the service account under which that service was running was not a member of Performance Monitor Users group for the machine. Adding the user to the group fixed the issue for us.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

We were recently doing installation of CRM 2011 and faced issue while installing CRM 2011 Reporting Extension (SRS Data Connector).

After resolving the issue and completing the installation, we saw that there were no reports published. It was because of a flag being set in MSCRM_CONFIG when the installer ran first.

Check out this helpful post to resolve this issue

Hi,

We had installed CRM 2011 Server in Network Load Balance. The installation was successful in both the nodes (CRM Server). However later because of some reason we had to do the installation again. We uninstalled CRM from node 1 and did a fresh re installation there, which succeeded.

However our 2^nd node of CRM 2011 was still referring to old installation. In node 2, we were not able to uninstall CRM using the add remove program features. The only option left with us was to manually uninstall CRM 2011 from that server, for which we followed the tips given in the following blog post.

Then we tried running our installer again. This time we got the following error

“The Product key is not compatible with installed version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM”

Which took us to following blog post

It suggested using Microsoft Update option that comes in the installer before proceeding. However doing so started giving the following error to us.

“The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program.”

The solution that worked for us for fixing this issue was to get the latest installer of CRM 2011 Server from the download center and running the setup from there.

Hi,

I got the below error while installing the CRM Server.

The issue was after uninstalling the CRM Server, we hadn’t restarted the server. So after restarting the server and running the setup again the installation went smoothly.

Hope it helps.
