Hi Everyone,
So here's a dilemma I'm struggling with...
We have multiple environments all with the same solutions in. Our dev environment has an unmanaged solution with our customisations in. Plus several managed solutions from various 3rd parties.
when we promote the dev solution to test or production, we export it as a managed solution.
the problem i've got is i am trying to remove one of the 3rd party managed solutions.
Starting at dev i removed all the dependencies for the managed solution to another managed solution and to our unmanaged solution, by moving the code etc into the unmanaged one., removed the 2 managed solutions... all was fine
i then promoted our customization as an unmanaged solution up to test and then tried to remove the unmanaged solutions.
1 went without a problem, so i know the java dependencies are now all gone, but the other has got some very strange dependencies to our now managed solution which contains our customisations.
First of all localizedlabel dependancies like here
www.crmcodex.com/.../this-solution-cannot-be-uninstalled-because-the-localizedlabel-with-id-form-is-required-by-the-solution-uninstall-the-solution-and-try-again
fine.... I ran the sql, it removed the dependencies,
but then appears more dependencies on systemforms.
firstly and probably the the interesting thing to find out is how come it ended up that 2 managed solutions can become so dependent on each other, it shouldn't be possible. i'm thinking one was changed to managed out of sequence somehow in the deep distant past and caused the issue.
Secondly I wonder if there is anyway out of it so we can end up having removed the 3rd party managed solution.
I'm way into unsupported territory here that we are looking at other solutions, i just want to try and do it since i've poked my headinto the rabbit hole, might as well jump in and run round the warren like.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
Chris
