Resolution

Warning

Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft can't guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that you have the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6D016639-BA35-11CF-827E-00001B27AB13}\LocalServer32 To do it, follow these steps:

    1. Select Start, select Run, type regedit, and then select OK.
    2. On the Edit menu, select Find.
    3. In the Find What box, type 6D016639-BA35-11CF-827E-00001B27AB13.
    4. In the Look at section, make sure that only the Keys check box is selected, and then select Find Next. If you have the registry subkey, you'll see the full path of the Dynamics.exe file in the LocalServer32 folder.
  2. If you don't have this registry subkey, the subkey will be created when you re-register the Dynamics.exe file in step 4.

    Note

    After you re-register the Dynamics.exe file, repeat step 1a through step 1d to verify that the subkey was created by using the correct path.

  3. Sign in as the user who is receiving the error message.

  4. Re-register the Dynamics.exe file.

    To re-register any .exe file, select Start, select Run, type "<path>\NameOfFile.exe" /REGSERVER, and then select OK.

    Note

    The placeholder <path> represents the full path of the folder that contains the file, and the placeholder NameOfFile.exe represents the name of the file. For example, type the following string:
    "C:\Program Files\MyAppLocation\MyApp.exe" /REGSERVER

    Most executables don't display any message boxes when they're registered. This behavior depends on how the application is created. When some applications are registered, they may open on your computer.

  5. Verify the path of the registry subkey again to make sure that the path points to the Dynamics.exe file. To do it, repeat steps 1a through 1d.

  6. Try to open Integration Manager or to run the integration. If the Automation errors aren't resolved, you must re-register the following files:

    • IM.exe
    • IMRun.exe

    To re-register these files, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to the computer as the user who will run the integration.

      Note

      You must re-register the IM.exe and IMRun.exe files by using this user ID.

    2. Re-register each file by following the procedure that is described in step 4.
