AX2012 not a valid configuration file

Posted on by Devin Stinger 25

I have installed AX2012 on my local machine next to an AX 4.0 SP2 install that we currently run. when i try to launch AX 2012 using a config file i get the following error, file is not a valid configuration file. I can launch 2012 fine with the AX32.exe file in the bin location but cannot get into developer mode. I need to be able to launch using a config file. AX 4.0 still launched fine using its own axc file

I have successfully installed the AOS and databases on seperate servers and all connections between them are valid

    That sort of worked, i ended up refreshing the configuration and generating a new axc file, then had to run a command line with the full path to the exe file and the axc config file. Once i did that it opened up but told me i had no rights for a development environment, but that is another issue to research.

    I would prefer to be able top click on the config file and have it open the correct version but will continue to look into it.

    Thanks for the assistance
