Dynamics SL 2015: After installation, WRKSTN only has 1 file in it

Posted on by antiquemapman

I installed Dynamics SL 2015, and the WRKSTN directory only has a single file in it, called INSTALL.TXT. That file seems to indicate that I need Visual Studio 2008, since it starts out with the following message:

     SDK Information...
     The SDK was installed as part of the Microsoft Dynamics SL Server Install
     but will NOT be installed on this workstation because:
        Visual Studio ( 2005 or 2008 ) is NOT installed on this machine

I don't see how I can install clients without the contents of this directory. Do I need to uninstall Dynamics, install Visual Studio 2008 and then reinstall Dynamics?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan, If you are trying to install the SL SDK feature then you must have Visual Studio installed on the workstation that is to run the SDK. What I cannot tell from your post is whether you intend to run SDK or not and whether this issue is only an issue on one workstation. If this issue occurs on any workstation install then it sounds like SL wants Visual Studio on all those workstations because you installed it on the server. I do not know whether that is correct or not because I have never installed SDK at a client. I do have SDK installed on my system but I also have VS 2008 installed on my workstations since we develop SL applications using the SDK.
