Dynamics GP2016 - An error occured while loading or initializing addin.

Hi All,

Having the below error which I think is to do with Human Resources module. I have tried repairing the installation, added HR module removed HR module, manually added the dll for HRDocAttach into the folders but still cannot get into GP2016 after upgrading from GP2010 --> GP2013 --> GP2016. I have had a fair few problems with the HR module so I did not add in the module for HR whilst at the GP2010 stage where I upgraded GP2010 to the latest version first before going to GP2013 so not sure if this is the problem from that. Anyway to get past these errors to then upgrade to GP2018?

The description for Event ID 0 from source Microsoft Dexterity cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

An exception occurred while trying to load or initialize the addin located at HRDocAttach.

Exception Details:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].


the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

    Seems as it was the shared dexterity components which was the problem how bizarre! Thanks for the link to the thread

    I found this as someone else had the same problem.

    community.dynamics.com/.../2010-to-2013-migration---so-close

    Are you on the server? I would try completely uninstalling GP 2016, deleting the program folder and reinstalling. This time install without HR. If it works but you need HR install HR,then install HR with Advanced PR if you need those modules.

    Hi Richard,

    Tried that but still getting the same error messages unfortunately. Any other things I could try?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Looks like you have some offensive dll's in your addins folder.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP\AddIns

    Stat by removing all except

    Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.PreviewPane.dll

    Backup the addins folder first before removing any files.
