GP2013 R2 download issues

Posted on by 335

Can't download GP2013 R2.  Get out to the location when it exists, Microsoft File Transfer opens  but then get a proxy is preventing the download.  Have issues with my account since it was under a partner for years and now with a Customer.  Is it only available for Partners right now?

Go out to the website:  

mbs.microsoft.com/.../Product-Release-Downloads-for-MSDYNGP2013-R2

Anyone else having issues?

    Well I have really broken this computer now as far as PartnerSource goes. I just tried to submit a sales operations support request and I get greeted with a message that I have to install Silverlight. When I click the install button it tells me I cannot install Silverlight because a newer version already is installed. You have to love this when this happens. Now I have another reason to keep using XP!

    OK, I tried following the instructions in the KB and CTRL-F8 does nothing.

    I have had this problem for over A year now. Whatever stops that little yellow warning bar about the Active X control from appearing seems to be the case.  These machines worked fine and then one by one they stopped working. It used to be I could put IE into 32 bit mode and it would work. That does not appear to be an option any more.

    Strange guys I have a Windows 8.1 and it works every time. I would guess this has something to do with browser settings. Have you guys tried to add it as a trusted site? Has anyone logged a problem with the VOICE team on this instead of just posting on here?

    Hi Richard,

    I have 3 W7 computer all using IE 11.  None of them will fire up the file transfer manager. If I use Mozilla it will work but I prefer to use the old WXP computer.

    I always use IE for downloads.  The File Transfer Mgr doesn't work with all browsers.  Had no problem downloading 2013 R2 on IE 10.

    In case it helps or provides any clues...

    I just tried the download from Partnersource using Chrome, but the File Transfer Manager didn't launch.

    When I use IE, it works.

    I was at the GP 2013 downloads page:

    mbs.microsoft.com/.../MDGP2013_Release_Download

    That points me to this GP 2013 SP 2 download link:

    mbs2.microsoft.com/.../downloadfile.aspx

    I'm on Win 8.1 with IE 11.0.9600 and have File Transfer Manager 5.0 Build 0032.

    I have given up trying to download anything off PartnerSource for certain computers. I believe it has something to do with the download manager. I keep an old XP computer running just for this purpose. If anyone at Microsoft sees this please provide tips on how to correct it. I have tried re-installing the download manager but that did not help either. In my case, after clicking download, nothing happens. I do not even get the prompt about loading Active X control so I cannot tell it to continue.
