Error MSG & GP closes after launching

Posted on by 2,010

After launching GP, I am unable to enter a PW or User ID and the following message appears and closes GP: "An error occured while loading or initializing an addin. Ask your administrator to check the Windows event log for more details. Dynamics will now close."

    So it turns out that the Integration Manager install I had done recently didn't install properly. I had to go into the Dynamics.SET file to remove the Integration manager information. Then, repair the Integration Manager program from Control Panel. I guess in GP2013, the Add-Ins folder is supposed to be empty!!

    Yes.  If you have a valid install on another workstation, copy the entire GP folder, including lower level folders, to a server folder or an external drive.  Then restore this to the workstation that has problems.  ONE CAUTION.  Make sure you move from a 32 bit machine to a 32 bit or from a 64 bit to a 64 bit machine.

    As a precaution, rename your current GP folder before doing this, creating a new one with the copied data, just in case.  99% of the time this has solved such problems for me.  Did it today for a client!

    Yes, unfortunately, it errors out saying "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Paramater name: genericPath"

    If the contents of the Add-In folder are empty, is there any way to copy and paste files here to restore?

    Have you attempted a repair of Dynamics GP from the control panel?

    Update: it looks like all the Add-ins in the folder have been deleted. How do you repair this?
