I have a few AX7 Azure environments that I deployed back in June with the Demo (May 2016 Update) topology, and they are working fine. Note, this is not the newer ARM enabled topology.
I have recently tried to deploy a few more (same topology), but the Dynamics AX Visual Studio Tools extension doesn't get configured correctly anymore. AX seems to run fine, but Visual Studio is not able to interact with it. Visual Studio does not display any objects in the Application Explorer, etc.
When starting Visual Studio, I get an error stating:
Discovery of best practices extensions failed with error 'Given directory 'C:\AOSService\Packages\Bin\BPExtensions' does not exist. It must exist when discovering extensions from a single directory'. Best practices checks may not function correctly.
That directory indeed does not exist, but it doesn't exist in my good environments either. In all of these environments, the model store is located in 'J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory', not on the C: drive.
Does anyone know where the setting is located that tells the Dynamics AX Visual Studio Tools extension where to look for the model store folder? I suspect that if I could fix that setting, the extension may start working correctly.
