Dynamics AX 2009 Client config file start path problem

I need to start the MS Dynamics AX 2009 client with different configurations to connect to different AOS.
To achieve this, I exported the client configuration into an axc-file, which works pretty well.
Now I want to share this file for all clients in our network, but it does not work on some because for some funny reason, the path to the Dynamics AX binaries are hardcoded into the client config file. So, on one computer the AX client is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Client\Bin, on the next in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Client\Bin, the file does not work, since the path in the axc is different from the real path.

How do I create an axc-file which is working on every client computer, so I can use a shared config file?

Solution

  • The only workaround I found is to install the client on every computer in some custom path, like c:\ax instead of installing it into program files.

    Ugly. I really hope Microsoft will fix this in some future version.
