XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Post a Comment

The installer was interrupted before Application could be installed...

This error occured as I tried to install a custom installer web project, built with VS2008 in 32-Bit or 64-Bit mode on my 64-Bit target system.

To get more details on that error, I tried the following command in my console window:
msiexec /i /l*vx install.log

The log file pointed out the following error:
MSI (c) (60:54) [17:00:43:240]: Attempting to enable all disabled privileges before calling Install on Server
MSI (c) (60:54) [17:00:43:240]: Connected to service for CA interface.

Action ended 17:00:43: WEBCA_SetTARGETSITE. Return value 3.
MSI (c) (60:E4) [17:00:43:352]: Doing action: AdminFatalErrorForm

After some "googling" I found the following two reasons for this problem and the solution to work around this issue:

1st reason:
In IIS 7 its called "IIS 6 Management compatability".

By default this module is not installed and enable. So we have to got to
"Control Panel\Programs and Features\Turn Windows features on or off" and then click the check box to enable that feature.



2nd reason:
Another issue might be the usage of 32-bit applications with a 64-bit IIS machine.
By default 32-bit applications are disabled. On the picture below you find a way how to enable them.

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu...

XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Mayank Pujara's AutoNumberUpdater plugin for the XrmToolBox is a great tool to add missing auto number values to an auto number field for an entity/table. In his blog you can find more details about the original version of his plugin: https://mayankp.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/xrmtoolbox-autonumberupdater-new-tool/ For my purposes I had to update accounts with missing account numbers, but in my use case this should only be done for those accounts that have the status value "Active".   As this plugin did not have this feature I quickly implemented it and Mayank merged my changes to his plugin source code. You can download the new version 1.2024.0.1 in the Tool Library of the XrmToolBox.
