AX1004 Compilation Error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Maxim Gorbunov 456

When compiling any Dynamics AX model project on production server I get the following warning and error:

Warning
MSB3644: The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or
\C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets
Line: 983

Error
AX1004: Reference System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 was not a valid model assembly.
\C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Core\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.Core.dll

There are no problems with the projects on the development server, everything is compiled without errors or warnings. But when I transfer projects to the production server compilation fails.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any idea on how to fix that?

    What happens if you follow the advice and install the SDK on the production server (or on a copy of the production system)?

    Martin, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately installing the SDK did not help. I still get the same error when trying to compile a report project.

    I found the log files in the AppData folder. This is the log file from the development server, where report projects are compiled without errors:

    What I found suspicious is that the sequence of targets is different in those files. Is that possible that MSBuild on my production server does not use valid targets file from the DynamicsTools folder? 

    The folder and the files exist on the production server, but I could not find how to check the exact command line which AX client uses to start MSBuild. Is there any way to do that?

    Today I run into this same issue in two servers of a customer of ours.

    Both servers had .NET 4.5, but the Ax VS projects targets .NET 4.0. For some reason, .NET 4.5 deletes 4.0 assemblies.

    You cannot install .NET 4.0 due to the presence of 4.5 (install program states that a newer version is found and won't install 4.0).

    You need to install "Microsoft .NET Framework-4 Multi-Targeting Pack, 83,4 MB, version 4.0.30319", but you cannot if you don't have VS 2010 installed.

    A good workaround that worked for me was to download VS 2010 Express C#, install it and uninstall it. This let's that required package installed.  ^_^

    Now all my Ax VS projects node compiles at all ^_^

    Martin,

    I just had the same problem on another server and tested your solution again. You were right, it works.

    The only thing that you did not mention (and I did not guess that myself) is that I had to install .NET Development AND Intellisense and Reference Assemblies. I guess I missed that when testing your suggestion the first time.

    Thanks,

    Maxim

    Hi Martin/Maxim

    I have the same problem. Could you please share download links to the packages I need to download?

    During SDK install I get:

    :40:33 AM Thursday, August 21, 2014: [SDKSetup:Error] Config_Products_Install: Windows SDK Setup (failed): Installation of the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7" product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information. Stack:    at SDKSetup.Product.ConfigureNewProduct(ManualResetEvent CancelEvent)   at SDKSetup.Product.SetupProduct(TaskMode taskMode, ManualResetEvent CancelEvent)   at SDKSetup.ProductCollection.SetupProducts(TaskMode taskMode, DownloadManager downloadManager, ManualResetEvent cancelEvent)   at SDKSetup.ConfigProducts.DoCurrentTask(TaskMode Task)

    Any ideas?

    Hi Søren

    Which version of Windows Server are you using? Try to look for Windows SDK for your Windows Server. There is an SDK for Windows 8 too.

    Best regards,

    Maxim

    However, at this page - msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh852363.aspx - they say that Windows 7 SDK is the one that you need for the previous versions of .NET assemblies. So I'd try to download it from here - go.microsoft.com/fwlink

    Hi Maxim, Am facing the same issue. As per this blog we have to install .NET Framework 4  Multi-Targeting Pack. As per you, you are suggesting to install .NET Development AND Intellisense and Reference Assemblies. Do you have the exact link for both to share? Martin did share the link for SDK but not sure which one to install from that link.

    Appreciate for a quick response.
