NAV 2013 (not R2) not compatible with Windows 8.1 ???

Hi!

Seems Dynamics NAV 2012 (not R2) setup doesn't allow install it on a Windows 8.1

Someone tested to upgrade a Windows 8.0 with a NAV 2013 client installed to Windows 8.1 ?

Regards,

    Hi

    Yes - I've also experienced that.

    It is the main setup.exe which is failing (simply exiting without error).

    But the workaround is to install the individual components in correct order (paths from the Danish DVD). This is from my notes:

    1. DotNet 3.5 Chart komponent

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Prerequisite Components\Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5\MSChart.exe

    2. Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Prerequisite Components\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Redist\vstor40_x86.exe – or …vstor40_x64.exe

    3. Report Viewer 2010

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Prerequisite Components\Microsoft Report Viewer 2010\ReportViewer.exe

    4. NAV RTC

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\RoleTailoredClient\Microsoft Dynamics NAV RoleTailored Client.msi

    5. Outlook Add-in

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Outlook\Microsoft Dynamics NAV Outlook Add-in.msi

    6. Documentation and help

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Documentation\Documentation.msi

    Oh - and by the way - if you are not using W1, you need to install the correct language modules afterwards - in Denmark (Again from my Danish notes - but the paths will guide you in the right direction :-) ):

    7. Danish Language Pack for NAV RTC client

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Installers\DK\RTC\RoleTailoredClient.Local.Dk.msi

    8. Danish Language Pack for Outlook Add-in

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Installers\DK\OlAddin\OutlookAddIn.Local.Dk.msi

    9. Danish Language Pack for documentation and help

    Dynamics.NAV70.DK.1184350.DVD\Installers\DK\Documentation\Documentation.Local.DK.msi

    Another "By the way" just to answer you last question :-).

    I've not tried to update a Win 8 with NAV 2013 to Win 8.1.

    But it seems that NAV 2013 works as expected running on Win 8.1. It is only the main setup.exe which got issues...

    Thanks Gert.

    Worked flawlessly. Million thanks.

    I also tested to upgrade from Windows 8.0 with a NAV 2013 client installed to Windows 8.1 and all went ok. As you said it should be the installer.

    I created a batch file to make thinks easier:

    *** NOTE ****: you should change the last two lines, because they should have your correct language, in my case it's ES for spanish, enter to the folders and search for the exact names or your language files).

    @ECHO OFF

    set navserver=admonsrv1

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\Prerequisite Components\Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5\MSCHART.EXE" /passive

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\Prerequisite Components\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Redist\vstor40_x64.exe" /q

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\Prerequisite Components\Microsoft Report Viewer 2010\ReportViewer.exe" /passive

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\RoleTailoredClient\Microsoft Dynamics NAV RoleTailored Client.msi" /passive

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\Documentation\Documentation.msi" /passive

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\Installers\ES\RTC\RoleTailoredClient.Local.Es.msi" /passive

    "\\%navserver%\Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2013\Installers\ES\Documentation\Documentation.Local.Es.msi" /passive
