Fix deployable package error: The devInstall option is not applicable to the current deployable package

If you are attempting to install a deployable package from the command line into a development environment, you may experience this error:

‘The devInstall option is not applicable to the current deployable package.’

There are some steps you can take to resolve this issue. Run the following commands:

Note: Ensure Visual Studio is not running before completing the following steps.

This will form the runbook, which will execute the installation.

AXUpdateInstaller.exe generate -runbookid=”OneBoxDev” -topologyfile=”DefaultTopologyData.xml” -servicemodelfile=”DefaultServiceModelData.xml” -runbookfile=”OneBoxDev-runbook.xml”

This will make the runbook available for installation by loading it.

AXUpdateInstaller.exe import -runbookfile=OneBoxDev-runbook.xml

This will execute the runbook made in the initial step.

AXUpdateInstaller.exe execute -runbookid=OneBoxDev

If everything goes according to plan, this process may take a while to complete, due to the database synchronization.
