AXUpdateInstaller fails in step 55

Posted on by 15

Hey guys.

Did someone has solved the following error while updating to version 23 using this command: AXUpdateInstaller.exe execute -runbookid="Dyn365FO23V-runbook" ?

This is my runbook:

<Name>Dyn365FOV23</Name>

  <MachineList>

    <Machine>

      <Name>dyn365devrs1</Name>

      <ServiceModelList>

                               <string>ALMService</string>

                               <string>AOSService</string>

                               <string>BIService</string>

                               <string>DevToolsService</string>

                               <string>DIXFService</string>

                               <string>MROneBox</string>

                               <string>PayrollTaxModule</string>

                               <string>PerfSDK</string>

                               <string>ReportingService</string>

                               <string>RetailCloudPos</string>

                               <string>RetailHQConfiguration</string>

                               <string>RetailSDK</string>

                               <string>RetailSelfService</string>

                               <string>RetailServer</string>

                               <string>RetailStorefront</string>

                  </ServiceModelList>

    </Machine>

  </MachineList>

 

And this is the error log:
