Reinstall Web Client Nav 17

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 70

I was coding ASPNET sites, and I needed to publish the site. I forgot to create a folder, I've selected delete files option and I published to wwwroot.
With that my NAV 17 Web Client folder was deleted.

I tried to repair, but the folder doesn't appear back.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Web Client, and the folder still doesn't appear.
Then I copy the folder form the DVD folder, and put it on wwwroot, and I tried to create a new site myself.
And now I got an error.
PS: I don't know if this folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Web Client) had to have something in it.

I've read what's in here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicsnav-2013/jj551768(v%3dnav.70)
And https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicsnav-2013/hh167211(v=nav.70)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Still didn't find a answer

    Hello,

    Via setup.exe of the product DVD, you can uninstall WebClient and after that reinstall it. If everything is installed OK, you can start PowerShell ISE with Admin permissions on the server and user New-NavWebServerInstance to recreate it correctly.

    Thanks.

    There could be many things ,  I would also suggest to complete uninstall it and do a fresh installation with all cookies and caches cleared.

    Install a new one and then provide all necessary configuration settings and see the outcome.

    Web Server Components will be OK.

    Check service tier is correctly configured.

    Hello,

    On your IIS server or PC, in the Start menu, right click on "Dynamics NAV 2017 Administration Shell" and choose Run as Administrator.

    E.g.:

    New-NAVWebServerInstance -WebServerInstance <<name>> -Server localhost -ServerInstance <<serverinstance>> -ClientServicesCredentialType Windows `

    >> -ClientServicesPort <<clientservicesport>> -ManagementServicesPort <<managementservicesport>> -Force

    A sample of possible values:

    New-NAVWebServerInstance -WebServerInstance DynamicsNAV100 -Server localhost -ServerInstance DynamicsNAV100-ClientServicesCredentialType Windows -ClientServicesPort 7046 -ManagementServicesPort 7045 -Force

    You need to replace the possible values with your own that does apply to your situation.  Alternatively, raise a support ticket to Microsoft support via your CSP and we will assist you to get up and running. It must be frustrating when the application fails with errors. We are here to assist.

    Thanks.

    Done.
    Don't know about caches, but no cookies on the browser.
    Still didn't work  :(

    I've tried with all parameters and I got this error

    Screenshot-_2800_263_2900_-_2D00_-Copy.png

    Then I removed a few ones and I got those two.
    My C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\100\Web Client folder is empty, is that a problem?
