Ver. 10.0.40 update error Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

1. I have run with administrator rights.
2. Also decompress the installation package to the root directory of drive C, or create a folder in the root directory of drive C, and then decompress the installation package to this folder.

    Hi, are you sure C is the best drive to run that from? On the dev instances K: is normally the drive with plenty of space, or one of the backup drives. Even if there is enough space, its running the OS.

    Create a new directory called c:\tmp or c:\update or whatever. Don't use c:\Windows\temp because of permissions and it's not recommended. Creating a new directory will make you the owner and you won't have permission issues in the folder you created.
     
    By the way, did you unblock the file after you downloaded it? Assuming you downloaded it from the internet using a browser.
     
     
    All try, but still error.

    Moved the question to the Dynamics 365 Finance forum as this is not related to the previous Dynamics AX product.
     
    I do assume you have a question about how to solve this error. Can you tell us if you used the correct file name and if it has the correct details? Did you open the command prompt with the option "Run as administrator"?
