Error when opening POS screen layout designer -> "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

Posted on by Community Member

When we open the Screen layout designer for POS we retrieve 2 errors.  Retail->Setup->POS->Screen layout->Designer.

"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

There's nothing logged to the event viewer and it doesn't seem to cause any problem but we would like to know why we retrieve the error and how to resolve it.

    I think you should use the same username and password that areconfigured on the Retail Store database

    Hi,

    It has nothing to do with Store Database. It is more of the AX user rights.

    Run .net CIL, it will resolve the issue. Please share your findings.

    Have you tried re-installing Retail Headquarters? I had the same issue and I fixed it by re-installing Retail Headquarters. Please try and let us know your findings.

    We hade the same issue, and were able to resolve by following the steps below:

    Download and install the “Microsoft Expression Blend Software Development Kit (SDK) for .NET 4“ package from www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

    Copy Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll and System.Windows.Interactivity.dll from “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Expression\Blend\.NETFramework\v4.0\Libraries” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin” folder
