Hi,
After running the upgrade I run the GP Utilities. The utility recognizes that the database objects must be upgraded and then asks me if I would like to transfer the security data. I select yes and browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP\Dynamics.set.
I then receive this error:
"The application at the location you specified is a different version than the database you are attempting to convert. You must specify the location to the 9.0385 application"
I have tried substituting the dynamics.set file from the production server and from the upgrade backup file and I still reecive this error.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Catherine

Hi Catherine,
Just my two cents on this topic. When you're going to move your users to the new GP10 client deployment, don't use the Security Migration Wizard tool from Microsoft. This is advised as being a quick way to carry on your user security settings from the old 'optimistic' security model to the new 'pesimistic' model from GP 10 (and up). This will create thousands of record entries in your security tables on the new system, depending on how complex and how many users you had in GP 9.0... The login will take forever in the new system (I experienced up to 5 min per user).
Instead, take the time and study the new security roles that are provided by default in the new GP10 and customize them for your needs or just use them as is if the fill their purpose.
Good luck with your migration and hope you're going to take the next step soon to GP2010R2 (why not directely going to GP2010R2 anyway ?).
Edit : sorry, just realized that thread was quite a year old :-)
Copying the files to the new server works. I was doing a transfer from old server (GP9) to new (GP2010) following KB878449. New server 2008R2 +SQL2008R2, copied "Microsoft Dynamics" from old to new - into "C:\Program Files\" to maintain the same path that the Dynamics.SET was pointing to.
Hello Wrote
Stewart is right copy your dynamics GP folder if the version is same.
Thanks
Hi, its not the dynamics.set file you need, but the dynamics.dic. But, the easiest way would be copy the complete GP application folder from the server / another good workstation and paste it into your local GP application folder.
This will ensure it is at the exact same version as elsewhere.
Can you run utilities at the server?
