Installation from the Dynamics GP 10 Feature Pack 1

I want to alert you to a possible problem when using the Dynamics GP 10 Feature Pack 1 (10_GP_ENUS_FP1_DVD_SP4.zip) to setup a new client. This is the latest installation set which has been fixed so that you don't have to downgrade the client's .NET Framework in order to install the Dexterity Shared Components prerequisite.

The Feature Pack includes SP4 build number 10.00.1368. Make sure you find out the current build for your installation before installing the new client. The simplest method for doing that is to start GP on an existing client and note the version information at the bottom left of the login window. If it is earlier than 10.00.1368, then you must modify the Feature Pack's files to make it use the right service pack before installing the new client.

1. Extract the Feature Pack files from the zipped archive to a local hard drive.
2. Navigate to the Uploads directory in the extracted files location.
3. Delete the file named MicrosoftDynamicsGP-KB971808-v10-ENU.msp
4. Replace it with the service pack that matches the build of the current installation.   https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/downloads/servicepacks/MDGP10_Previouspatches.htm
       NOTE Anyone who has installed the year end update will require MicrosoftDynamicsGP-       KB975174-v10-ENU which is 10.00.1400 in Step #4.
5. Install the new client.

If you install the feature pack version of GP10 without doing the above and it's version is newer than the current installation, you only have 2 options to repair it.
1. (Recommended) Uninstall GP10, then follow the instructions above.
2. Upgrade the entire installation to 10.00.1368 or later.

These instruction can just as easily be applied at installations with newer GP10 builds.
