Business Central - Installing Extensions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Greg W - Western Co...

Hello,

I'm trying to install an extension in my Business Central Sandbox.  I was able to browse the Extension Marketplace and choose an extension to install.  When I do this, it directs me to log in again and then installs the extension in my production instance of Business Central.  

Does anyone know how I can direct the system to install in sandbox?

    Are you using an online sandbox? Very strange.

    I tried installing the customized extension (.app) file. It gave a validation error and restarted the sandbox and asked for login(probably a bug).

    Although you can try making a container locally or an Azure Container Instance.
    1. To make container locally refer the link https://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/katsonsnavblog/archive/2018/03/16/how-to-get-the-new-dynamics365-business-central-and-extend-it
     2.  To make a Azure Container Instance refer  the link https://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/andreysnavblog/archive/2018/04/02/quot-server-less-quot-dynamics365-business-central

    Locally (container local or on Azure) it works. Your problem is with an online sandbox? Maybe a problem with the tenant.
