Installing GP 2018 with MSI

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

We are trying to use the MSI and SCCM but we keep getting the following error message: The installation does not have a native interface.

Have you seen this error before? Do you have any insights on how we can use the GreatPlains.msi with SCCM for our upcoming GP 2018 Go Live? We have over 50 users and, as you can imagine, our DBAs are looking for the most efficient install approach.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Here I clipped my steps and reference material from several sources into a Word document. There is a sample batch script listed at the end of the document.

    Your mileage may vary. Good luck!

    Also for those looking in the future, I dug in and developed dos batch scripts for GP Client installs and many of the 3rd party plug-ins.

    Last used for GP 2018 R2 they save me a lot of time and I recouped my research time many times over. 

    Reach out to me on GPUG if you would like copies.

    For others finding this thread in the future, you can also look on the GP media for the Powershell modules that allow you to install and configure GP via Powershell that are essentially a admin friendly front end to the .msi installers.
