Async Plugins vs. Power Automate Flows

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...

Power Automate: Avoid Apply to Each for List rows action (DataVerse)

If you do not want to use the Apply to Each loop after a Dataverse List rows action you can use the following in a Dynamic Content / Expression box to directly use a field's value in e.g. Compose action: first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['apx_fullpath'] instead of apx_fullpath you can use whatever field name you need for the entity that's been queried before.
