I’ve probably said this before, but Integration Manager can be both very useful and also most infuriating, because when you get an error the error message usually isn’t useful.
However, my most recent problem with Integration Manager did actually produce a useful error message:
Integration Manager
Integration 'Invoices' is not ready to run due to the following problems:
- The destination could not be initialized due to the following problem:
Cannot create ActiveX component.
I did a search and found a most useful KB article from Microsoft which detailed the problem (Microsoft Dynamics GP hadn’t been written to the registry correctly) and also the solution.
I read the whole article and decided to try a shortcut of starting with step 3 of re-registering the Dynamics.exe. To do this open a Run or Command Prompt and type the following (this particular problem was encountered with Microsoft Dynamics GP 20103 R2):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2013\Dynamics.exe" /regsrver
When I retried the integration, it ran through without further problems.
What should we write about next?

Hi Ian,
Something interesting I just found. I was getting this ActiveX error on a client terminal server. Launching GP and IM as administrator got rid of the error without any other changes.

Hi Victoria,
I guess launching them as an admin gives the permissions they need to make the relevant update to the registry. If/when I get this again I’ll try your approach.
Thanks.
