Strange error opening Dynamics GP since 2013-05-15 windows updates...

A strange error window, which has an information mark as icon (thus not being an error...  or at least not a critical error ?!?) appeared this morning on my test installation, which resides on my laptop computer.

This window pops up after I select the company where to log in.

It contains the following text : "out boolean Installed;clear table ReportSchedule;range clear table ReportSchedule;range start table ReportSchedule;fill table ReportSchedule;range end table ReportSchedule;range table ReportSchedule where physicalname('Product ID' of table ReportSchedule)+"=346";get first table ReportSchedule;if err()= OKAY then set Installed to true;else set Installed to false;end if;"

Clickink the only "OK" button will close it, and the GP will continue loading the client menu...

Very strange...  Since this is my test database and client, it is not that critical for the moment.

Here is what changed between yesterday and this morning's error :

- I am running windows 7 and accepted this morning the windows update.  The machine was up-to-date so these were this week's updates from microsoft.  It was huge, btw...

Anybody knows what this is all about ?

I just want to make sure if it ever start to appear on my Terminal Server installation, I will know what to do.

    Hi,

    First, are you using the Report Scheduler module? If you remove the Report Scheduler from your dynamics.set file does the error go away? If you are not using the module you might try using the SQL Maintenance utility to drop and recreate the table or tables (and stored procs) in the Report Scheduler dictionary. You may want to also use the Database Maintenance program to make sure all of your stored procs are OK. I have never dealt with this error personally.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    This issue isn't due to the Window updates someone changed an option in your Dex.ini file. Here are the steps to fix it:

    1. Open the Dex.ini file. By default, this file is in the below location, depending on the version that you are running:

    Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0:  

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP\Data\

    Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP\

    2. Locate the line below in the Dex.ini file.

    ScriptDebugger=TRUE

    3. Change the line to the below to disable the Debug menu.

    ScriptDedugger=FALSE

    4. Save and close the Dex.ini file.

    5. Log into Dynamics GP to verify if issue is resolved.

    Just to bring up some more, this is happening on my client where the Manufacturing module is installed, and not my other client installed on the same machine, which does not have this module installed...

    I am not that surprise since this module caused a lot of other problems with Visual Studio for Dynamics developments installed under the AddIns folder, such as right click menus not opening, and strange things like this...

    So, if anyone else have this same strange popup under a client with manufacturing module, please post.
