Hello,
Just to proactively warn you for an issue that was raised by a Dynamics NAV partner. When you as a Dynamics NAV partner are working in a side by side deployment, you may run into an issue with the WebClient. Side by side does mean: several releases installed / running on one PC. This typically does apply to ISV's, developers and support staff dealing with end customers. Even MS Support is affected by this issue.
When you uninstall Dynamics 365 BC Spring 2019 Update on a machine that does also have the Dynamics 365 BC Fall 2018 installed, both releases will have the WebClient uninstalled.
Repro:
1. install Dynamics 365 Fall 2018 (13.x) release including WebClient
Result: it does install it in container Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Web Client
2. install Dynamics 365 Spring 2019 (14.x) release including WebClient
Result: it does install it in container Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Web Client
If you would like to uninstall the Spring 2019 update or Fall 2018 Update from the PC, it will completely uninstall both releases from IIS.
Workaround would be NOT to use setup.exe but use PowerShell instead and use PublishFolder as a parameter, etc. This request is still pending analysis of the Dynamics NAV product group.
Kindly let us know if you do like to hear more from Dynamics NAV support / Dynamics 365 Business Central support people. We can invest more time in trying to reach out to the community forums proactively so that you are aware that there are issues not yet discovered externally. Or issues that do came back from the Dynamics NAV product group as approved or won't fix. In addition, kindly let us know if there are other ways in addition to using the communities to get this information to you.
NOTE that this posting can be also be found in the Dynamics NAV forum.
