Microsoft Dynamic CRM 4 Event Accelerator Installation

Today, I have installed the Microsoft Dynamic CRM 4.0 Event Accelerator onto a brand new CRM4 deployment on Windows sever 2008 R2 64 bit server. During the installation process, I experienced 3 issues:

1. Unable to save changes to web.config file located in web virtual directory due to permission error. "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the username folder instead?" My login has domain administrator role and is the creator and owner of the folder. Resolved this issue by manually share the folder with myself! Some new Server 2008 feature!

2.When browsing the sample customer portal site, saw this error "...an attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format". Found this blog "http://ts2community.com/blogs/larrylentz/archive/2009/08/07/crm-accelerators-and-sbs-2008.aspx" and replaced the microsoft.crm.sdk.dll and microsoft.crm.sdktypeproxy.dll files in the Event Management Web Site with the files in the sdk\bin\64-bit folder.

3. done a iisreset and browse the Sample Portal again, found "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object" error. Updated the sample portal web site binding to use the actual server ip address and all working now!

Now I can demonstrate the Event Management Portal to the end users!
