NAV 5.0 new installer by country/language released KB 957397

gediminb — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:53:00 GMT

New NAV 5.0 installer for every country/langauge released (Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 SP1 CSIDE Client.msi).

It corrects (from KB article 957397):

....

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 on a computer that is running a localized version of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), you may receive the following error message:

The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file c:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml6r.dll because the file is protected by Windows. You may need to update your operating system for this program to work correctly.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Msxml6r.dll file in the "C:\WINDOWS\system32" folder is controlled by Windows File Protection in Windows XP SP3. Therefore, the Windows Installer for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 cannot overwrite the Msxml6r.dll file by using another language version of the Msxml6r.dll file.

RESOLUTION

A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft. The hotfix corrects the problem that is described in this article. Apply the hotfix only to systems that are experiencing this specific problem.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact your Microsoft Dynamics partner or Technical Support for Microsoft Dynamics and related products to obtain the hotfix. If you have access to online assisted support you can log on to the Microsoft Dynamics site and create a new support request. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

PS.: We see different KB articles, different dates but the same build no. Technically it means that download gets links to the same folder, so there will be downloaded identical builds in all KB and it includes all fixes.

All fixes must be included in NAV 2009 SP1 so for some KB articles there will be no descriptions for NAV 2009. It only means fix is released but KB arrticle is not prepared.

There is only information about available versions/builds. If you want to get it, you need ask MS support system (with reference to requiring KB article) to send you links to download fix/update. You will receive temporary (limited to one week available) links with passwords to download fixes/updates.
Usually later builds include (cumulative) all corrections made in previous fixes, so in mosts cases it is enought to apply latest build to have all fixes in. However some times updates includes files (stx, or other) which are not included in later releases, then "latest build" means to install previous update and then apply latest fix. In every particular situation, please clarify these questions with MBS support engineers.

How to read from NAV xml document using Microsoft XMLDOM automation

gediminb — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:51:00 GMT

Usually i meet questions about "How to read from NAV xml documents without xmlports?"
It is because xml ports have some limitations and sometimes don't allow us to use it.
There is sample codeunit which reads xml nodes from file. It is just example and no more....:)

OBJECT Codeunit 50050 xml read
{
OBJECT-PROPERTIES

xmldomDoc.load(strInStream);

            FOR i:=1 TO xmlNodeList1.length()-1 DO BEGIN

                   IF NOT ISCLEAR(xmldomAttrib) THEN

Questions like "How to create xml files from NAV" are more easier, because you can use xmlport, dataport, write directly to file or use the same xmlDom automation.
