Dear,

I'm facing an error on the prerequisites to install Retail Channel Configuration Utility.


Dynamics AX Version: Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU13 with hotfix (KB 4492767)
SQL Version: SQL Server 2016
Prerequisite: Sync Framework Critical Hotfix KB 2703853
Error Description: Microsoft SQL Sync Framework HotFix KB 2703853 is required for store database utility to function correctly.
Windows Version: Windows server 2016

I did what the provided link from Microsoft advise by installing the below, to fix the issue:
1.Sync Framework 2.1
2.Framework Synchronization-v2.1
3.ProviderServices-v2.1
4.DatabaseProviders-v3.1

I installed them in the same order that the article says, but the issue is not fixed.

Log File details:

2020-10-21 16:59:52Z Success

    Hi,

    Because this fix says 'critical', I would recommend to go the safe way and get the MS support involved here by opening a support ticket.

    Can you do that?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
