Installing AX 2009 COM Business Connector

For those of you who need to keep using the COM Business Connector (as opposed to the new way, .NET Business Connector), AX still allows you to install this on this version. The preceding versions will no longer support COM.

To install:

{setup folder}\Setup.exe HideUI=1 AcceptLicenseTerms=1 InstallComBusinessConnector=1

Make sure that you put “AcceptLicenseTerms” not “AcceptLicense” as some code floating around suggests. Also wait a few minutes as the setup runs invisibly.

Then go to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Client\Bin

Where you will find AxCom.dll (20/05/2008 2:33PM)

Oh, and don't forget to register your new dll by going to the command prompt and typing:

regsvr32 "C:\program files\microsoft dynamics ax\50\client\bin\axcom.dll"

Enjoy!
